How do you cite a quote from romeo and Juliet?

Answer 1

When quoting from any Shakespeare play, the quotation should be accurate and within quotation marks. The citation should give the name of the play and the act and scene. Act and scene can be in Roman or Arabic numerals (although some teachers may have a particular preference). If your quotation contains lines from more than one speaker, the speaker should be identified. It is wise to indicate which edition of the play you are using, because different ones use different spellings and even different words, and always have different line numbers. Line numbers are always in Arabic numerals.

e.g.

"Hamlet: My father, methinks I see my father.

Horatio: Where, my lord?

Hamlet: In my mind's eye, Horatio."

(Hamlet, Signet edition. I, ii, 184-185)
