Show transcript
When we read, we make inferences based on evidence.
We can infer what characters' thoughts might be based on their actions and stated words.
We can also infer characters' motives - their reasons for acting - which might be different to their stated motives.
Our inferences will also make use of empathy - and we should remember we can never empathise perfectly with others.
