Do you use quotations when using the title of your essay in the body of your essay?

Answer 1

Quotation marks in essays are used for indicating that an outside source has been used in the essay. Quotation marks would only have to be used on thoughts if the

thoughts were someone else's. If the thoughts came from a book, computer source, or some other source, then quotation marks should be used. However, the writer of the essay does not have to quote his or her own thoughts.

Answer 2

It depends what you mean and what your instructor's style book says. If you are talking about the characters, as in "Romeo and Juliet are just a couple of crazy mixed-up kids." you should not add quotation marks. However, if you are talking about the title of the play by Shakespeare, you should mark it as a title. Quotation marks are one way of showing that it is a title, but not the only way. Underlining or using italic font are also used. Which method is acceptable to your instructor depends on what your instructor says, so I propose you ask him or her.
