Shakespeare&#8217;s plays, like many others, are divided into lines, scenes, and acts that are consistently numbered. When citing Shakespeare in MLA, use these numbers in your in-text citations. Similar to citing classical texts like Shakespeare, <a href=\"https:\/\/edubirdie.com\/blog\/how-to-cite-the-bible\">citing the Bible in APA<\/a> also relies on standardized divisions (book, chapter, verse) instead of page numbers. They have to be separated by periods rather than page numbers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The format for citing Shakespeare&#8217;s works in the Works Cited entry is similar to that for a book and includes the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Author\u2019s name;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Play\u2019s title;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Editor or translator;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Publisher;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Date of publication;<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Location.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Still, the format may vary depending on whether you cite a standalone edition or a collection. Discover how to format a Works Cited entry and in-text citation according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/edubirdie.com\/blog\/what-is-new-in-mla-9th-edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MLA 9th edition<\/a> standard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Works Cited entry:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #edf5fb; padding: 10px; border-radius: 6px;\">Shakespeare, William. <em>The Norton Shakespeare.<\/em> Edited by Stephen Greenblatt, 2nd ed., W.W.

In this entry, you should provide the title of the work you cite, followed by information about the collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The titles of the plays should remain italicized in the citation, as they are works that would typically be standalone pieces. If you cite multiple works by Shakespeare, they should be listed alphabetically by title. You can replace the author&#8217;s name with a series of three em dashes after the first one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #edf5fb; padding: 10px; border-radius: 6px;\">Shakespeare, William. <em>Hamlet.\u00a0<\/em><em>The Norton Shakespeare<\/em>, edited by Stephen Greenblatt, 2nd ed., W.W. Norton &amp; Company, 2008, pp. 1402-1488.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_cite_multiple_Shakespeare_plays\"><\/span>How to cite multiple Shakespeare plays<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Suppose instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/edubirdie.com\/blog\/short-story-citation-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">citing a short story in MLA<\/a>, you have to cite multiple plays by Shakespeare in your assignment. In that case, using an abbreviation of the play title in italics is recommended to start each in-text citation. It is important to use the standard abbreviations for Shakespeare&#8217;s plays rather than create your abbreviations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the guidelines for citing Shakespeare in MLA, when you mention a play title, you should introduce the shortened version the first time it appears in your paper, and then stick to it consistently for all the subsequent references to that particular play. Use these abbreviations only when they&#8217;re contained within parentheses, though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you do need to use a multi-word title in a paper, then you can simplify it into a keyword after the first mention &#8211; for example, using &#8220;Midsummer&#8221; instead of &#8220;A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #edf5fb; padding: 10px; border-radius: 6px;\">Benedick says, \u201cI will live as a bachelor\u201d (Ado, 1.1.232), but his resolve is quickly tested when he meets Beatrice at the masquerade ball.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this example, the in-text citation is placed in parentheses after the quotation. It includes a recognizable keyword of the play&#8217;s name (\u201cMuch Ado About Nothing\u201d), the quoted material&#8217;s act, scene, and line numbers. Note that the punctuation mark appears after the citation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">MLA abbreviations for plays by Shakespeare<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To better understand how to cite Shakespeare in MLA, knowing the most frequent abbreviations for in-text citations of William Shakespeare&#8217;s works and how to use them is necessary. The first citation should include the full name, while subsequent mentions can be abbreviated. For this, it\u2019s necessary to shorten the title to its primary noun phrase. Let\u2019s see some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ham. \u2500 Hamlet;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">TN \u2500 Twelfth Night;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Son. \u2500 Sonnets;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lr. \u2500 King Lear;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tmp. \u2500 The Tempest;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">LLL \u2500 Love\u2019s Labour\u2019s Lost;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rom. \u2500 Romeo and Juliet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When abbreviating titles to initials or using full words like \u201cado,\u201d placing a period in the end is unnecessary. To ensure you use abbreviations correctly, you may see the full list of standard\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/studylib.net\/doc\/8862902\/standard-abbreviations-of-shakespearean-titles\" rel=\"nofollow\">abbreviations of Shakespearean titles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_quote_Shakespeare_MLA\"><\/span>How to quote Shakespeare MLA?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have to <a href=\"https:\/\/style.mla.org\/epilogues-in-shakespeare-plays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cite the epilogue of a Shakespeare play<\/a>, you should understand that Shakespeare&#8217;s quotations can be in verse or dialogue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Verse;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Treat quotations up to three lines of verse from a poem or play like a regular quotation and indicate a new line with a forward slash (\/) and spaces around it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"background-color: #edf5fb; padding: 10px; border-radius: 6px;\">Hamlet famously contemplates life\u2019s greatest questions when he says, \u201cTo be, or not to be, \/\u00a0 that is the question\u201d (Hamlet 3.1.64).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Use a double forward slash (\/\/) if there&#8217;s a stanza break. For quotations exceeding three lines of verse, present it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/edubirdie.com\/blog\/block-quotation\">block quote<\/a> without quotation marks and indented on a new line.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dialogue;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For quoting dialogue between two or more people, present it as a block quote with the names of characters in block capitals and a period. For subsequent lines in a single character&#8217;s speech, you have to use a hanging indent, and after the closing punctuation, you should insert the citation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #edf5fb; border: 1px solid #ddd; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 16px; color: #444;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Macbeth and Banquo discuss the strange happenings of the day, with Macbeth noting the contradiction of it being both \u201cfoul and fair\u201d:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MACBETH.
