PLEASE HELP!! QOUTATIONS?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Okay so I have to use parenthetical citations....

This is line is from the play Macbeth:
Seargeant-
Doubtful it stood;
8 As two spent swimmers, that do cling together
9 And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald—
10 Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
11 The multiplying villanies of nature
12 Do swarm upon him—from the Western Isles
13 Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;
14 And Fortune, on his damned quarrel smiling,
15 Show'd like a rebel's whore. But all's too weak;
16 For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name—
17 Disdaining Fortune, with his brandish'd steel,
18 Which smoked with bloody execution,
19 Like valour's minion carved out his passage
20 Till he faced the slave;
21 Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,
22 Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chops,
23 And fix'd his head upon our battlements.

Now, this is how I've quoted it:

“ . . . For brave Macbeth well he deserves that name For brave Macbeth Disdaining Fortune, with his brandish'd steel, Which smoked with bloody execution, Like valour's minion carved out his passage Till he faced the slave.” ( what do I put here?)

Answer 3

Are you using a specific writing format? APA? MLA? Or something else?

Answer 4

MLA is the format I have to use.

Answer 5

Do you have the act and scene for this moment in the play? I see that you have the lines...

Answer 6

I'm using this website as a guide, by the way: http://asklibrary.com.edu/faq/59999

Answer 7

It looks like the standard way to do this is to have something like (name of play scene#.act#.line#s)

For example, (Hamlet, 3.2.1-4) would be Hamlet, scene 3, act 2, lines 1 to 4.

Answer 8

That is correct! Next time, however, I would recommend putting this in the English section lol
