One instance of selfishness is with the Birling family, who appear to live in their own “comfortable” bubble of wealth and avarice, which inhibits and warps their views of the world. For instance, the stage directions describe the “suburban” Birling family home as “pink and intimate”. The use of the adjective “pink” connotes ‘rose tinted spectacles’; the sense that the Birling family has a nostalgic, anachronistic and out-of-touch perception of the world, implying they are detached from the realities of modern Britain. This feeling is further augmented when the Inspector arrives and shatters their rapacious ignorance. The lighting changes drastically, going to “brighter and harder”. The implication of such a change is that the Inspector is shining a light (as though in a police interrogation) on areas the Birlings had never previously seen (because of the ignorance afforded to them by their greed and selfishness).

In her poem, "In a Queen's Domain", Piatt seems to be inferring that the world is not always perfect.
<u>“And my subject, the dove, coos on, / Though my hand creep close to her nest.”</u> tries to show that the world is made up of both the good and the bad people. The dove signifies the people that have a pure heart even though they are surrounded by people that seek to hurt them. The hand creeping close to the nest signifies the people that try to take advantage of the pure heart of the doves.
