Answer:

this book deals with something important about society. It shows the a side of humanity, and how one deals with guilt and accusations. Overall, the ideas are present but are presented quite plainly. The character, Inspector Goole, meant to act as a higher figure than the wealthy, is shown as accusing quite harshly. I realize the point is to highlight the downfalls of class, but this could've been done with better well developed characters. The characters are already seen as negatively from first mention, helping audiences reinforce the idea that these are the "bad ones". Everyone has their faults, not just the wealthy.
