English 12: 

Note taking: properly quoting and citing Shakespeare (if you missed today’s class, copy notes below so you can have access to them in your binder during in class writes)

  1. Always try to be as specific as possible in your references to the play you are arguing about. When appropriate, quote directly from the play to support your point.

The quotation itself is identified by act, scene, and line, not by page number. Do not quote huge passages; these take up too much space in a short essay and are better summarized.

EXAMPLE: Hamlet contemplates the implications of suicide in the “to or not to be” soliloquy (3.1.56-87).

2) If the quotation is more than one line long, but less than four, and it is in verse, then you must show the line divisions.

Here’s an example of how this is done in an essay:

When Talbot enters in the next scene, dying from a wound, his thoughts are on John, from whom he became separated in the battle: “Into the clustering battle of the French, / And in that sea of blood my boy did drench / His overmounting spirit; and there died” (4.7.13-15).

3) A quotation that is four lines or longer should be offset. Offset quotations do not use quotation marks.

EXAMPLE:

Richard’s reaction to the desertion of his supporters is melodramatic:

For God’s sake let us sit upon the ground

And tell sad stories of the death of kings:

How some have been depos’d, some slain in war,

Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed,

Some poisoned by their wives, some sleeping kill’d,

All murdered—  (3.2.155-60)
