Just a few ideas off the top of my head...

Look at what he says about the titanic, the world war etc - we as a reader know that these things will happen, however Mr B is sure that they will not. It makes him seem like a bit of an idiot...although he is so sure of himself.

Look at the way he treats the other characters - he treats his daughter like a child, wants to impress Gerald Croft and seems more overly concerned with impressing him than he is happy to see his daughter engaged.

Read the stage directions at the start too, think how Priestley wants you to see Mr B.
