• Guidelines:
Quotation formats:
• Please note that one character speaking in a drama is still a quotation;
• You can embed up to 4 lines of prose in your text
Example of an embedded prose quotation of two lines:
• In Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People, Dr. Thomas Stockmann reacts to the people’s refusal to allow him to reveal publicly that the spring water is polluted so as not to ruin the town’s reputation as a spa. He says: “. . . It takes fifty years for the majority to be right. The majority is never right until it does right” (2.217). Here Dr. Stockmann points out the weakness of majority rule.
• Only if you are quoting two or more characters do you use the dialogue format.
Indent 10 spaces from the left margin and set off the two characters speaking; capitalize their names followed by a colon (:). Include the stage directions with your dialogue. Click “How to Quote Dramatic Works” in the Learning Resources folder to see examples of the dialogue format.
Reference Notes:
• For the play Antigone, you just need line numbers (12-14); and
for Twelfth Night, your reference note should include the number of the act, scene, and lines (3.2.12-15).
