Quote #10
Here in these confines slyly have I lurk'd,
To watch the waning of mine adversaries.
A dire induction am I witness to (4.4.1)
Once again, a character uses the language of the theater to describe the unfolding events. Here Margaret says she's been lurking around the castle spying on her enemies, as if they're actors in a play and she's been watching the "induction" (prologue). In many ways, Margaret is like a member of an audience in a theater. By sneaking around out of sight and commenting on the play's action, she seems to be both inside and outside the action of the play.
