! Common Themes and Elements:
* AmbitionIsEvil: In ''Time and the Conways'' Ernest Beevers becomes rich and successful, but is revealed as an unpleasant man and abusive husband. In ''An Inspector Calls'', Mr Birling’s ambition is more important than the consequences for others.
* DysfunctionalFamily: The Birlings and the 1937 Conways both count. The Lindens may not be quite so bad, but certainly have their moments.
* FamilyDisunion: Priestley seems to love this trope. ''The Linden Tree'' and ''Time and the Conways'' both use birthday gatherings.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The titular Inspector of ''An Inspector Calls'' falls into this category, as does Kay’s barely-remembered vision of the BadPresent in ''Time and the Conways''. Dr Gôrtler of ''I Have Been Here Before'' starts in this category as well, but it’s mostly resolved by the end of the play.
