Solliquy: “The raven himself is hoarse”
(from Macbeth, spoken by Lady Macbeth)
The raven himself is hoarse
That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan
Under my battlements. Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here,
And fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full
Of direst cruelty! Make thick my blood,
Stop up th' access and passage to remorse,
That no compunctious visitings of nature
Shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between
The effect and it! Come to my woman's breasts,
And take my milk for gall, you murd'ring ministers,
Wherever in your sightless substances
You wait on nature's mischief! Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry "Hold, hold!"

Do now- Inferences
On the lines, is the literal informtion that you read- what is happening/actions, what the author describes.
Between the lines, is what is implied by the actions or descritions- what can you tell about how the characters are feeling? What are their personalities?
Beyond the lines- is how you connect to the situation or reading as a whole- does it remind you of something you have experiences?
