POINT: Gerald's social status and the Birling's wish to impress him and combine businesses. EVIDENCE: ‘lower costs and higher prices’ EXPLAIN/ CONTEXT: the play demonstrates the social standing of men of the period and how position and power were important. Gerald’s engagement to Sheila is more of a business merger than a marriage of love
