Question

What are the characteristics of Gerald.

Answer 1

Gerald is engaged to Sheila. During the inspection, Gerald admits to having had an affair with the girl in question—at the time,Daisy Renton—which prompts Sheila to return his engagement ring. Gerald comes out seeming the least guilty of all for the girl’s suicide. In the end, it is he who realizes that the whole inspection, and all of its premises, was a hoax. Nonetheless, he also seems less affected by the Inspector's casting of blame than Sheila and Eric, and Sheila denies his offer to renew their engagement.
