"Towards the start of the play, the Inspector notes that he doesn't "play golf" in response to Mr Birling trying to intimidate him with his status and power. "I don't play golf" may be used by Priestley as a metaphor for the recklessness the bourgeiousie like Mr Birling has over the proletariats such as Eva Smith. Golf fields are usually made by the destruction of large amounts of fields and forests, which could foreshadow the eventual destruction of Europe and parts of Britain during WW2 and WW1 caused by greed and the desire for more. The Inspector noting he doesn't play golf pushes this idea further, showing how he is one with the working class and is there to represent their suffering and struggles which is a theme repeated throughout the play and how eventually the greed and desires of the rich is what will lead to the suffering of not just those they control but themselves. As Priestley also uses the inspector as a mouth piece for his own socialist views, it could represent as well the difference between the power and influence someone like Eva Smith would have had compared to Mr Birling. While Eva Smith could not use her own status to deter Mr Birling's children such as Gerald, Mr Birling tries to use his own status to deter the Inspector through the idea of golf. Golf is symbolic of capitalism and capitalistic values, usually isolated away from poorer areas and is usually held in high status as a leisure activity. However, as said previously this leisure destroys the world physically and shows the lack of care of a capitalist society for those around them linking in with the idea that Mr Birling presented of "A man has to mind his own business and look after himself and his own". Priestley may have done this because the audience at the time were only just gradually recovering from the suffering caused by both world wars. This could make them sympathetic or relate to the inspector and his relation to the lower status and class shared in Britain.
