i just did my english lit gcse on this play, about 2 days ago now, and i’ve really enjoyed studying it. it’s so interesting and it’s something that’s so easy to read again and again and there are so many quotes in this play which really make you think. i remember finishing it in class for the first time and the ending made us all shocked haha. i feel like analysing the crap out of the text makes it more fun too, idk if that’s just me but i love picking a part pieces of books and annotating then with my thoughts/ the actual meaning behind it, i feel it gives so much more depth to a story. it’s so well written and thought out, it’s really amazing

Me: Has a dream I'm explaining the plot of An Inspector Calls to some tiny people who live in a bookshelf

Also me: Wakes up and is annoyed at dream me for getting the plot so wrong and therefore rereads the play
