Inspector Goole - The mysterious Inspector who arrives unexpectedly at the Birling household to investigate the death of Eva Smith/Daisy Renton. He is a powerful, imposing figure who interrogates each character about their involvement with Eva. The Inspector represents moral authority and social responsibility, forcing the characters to confront the consequences of their actions.

Arthur Birling - The patriarch of the Birling family, a prosperous industrialist and former Lord Mayor. He is arrogant, self-satisfied, and more concerned with his reputation and potential knighthood than the welfare of his workers. He fired Eva from his factory for demanding higher wages.

Sybil Birling - Arthur's wife, a prominent figure in local women's charity groups. She is cold, snobbish, and refuses to accept any responsibility for denying help to the pregnant and destitute Eva.

Sheila Birling - The Birlings' daughter, initially portrayed as naive but becomes remorseful after learning of her role in Eva's dismissal from a job. She is the most receptive to the Inspector's message about social responsibility.

Eric Birling - The Birlings' son, an alcoholic who had an affair with Eva and got her pregnant. He stole money from his father's business to support her but was rejected when Eva discovered the stolen money.

Gerald Croft - Sheila's fiancé and son of a wealthy industrialist. He had an affair with Eva (known to him as Daisy Renton) and provided her temporary shelter before ending the relationship.

Eva Smith/Daisy Renton - The unseen protagonist, a young working-class woman whose suicide due to the callous treatment by the Birlings and Gerald drives the plot. She represents the oppressed and underprivileged in society.
