cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Cite the play by line numbers.&nbsp;<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong>Ordinarily, we cite by page number.&nbsp; For a play with fixed lines (lines with a set number of syllables as in poetry), we cite by act, scene, and line.&nbsp; In the case of Antigone, we don&#8217;t have traditional labels for acts and scenes, so you will cite by line numbers.&nbsp; Use the line counts (numbers floating to the right of the lines of text) in the University of Alberta .pdf to help you figure out the correct line number\/s when you cite.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Insert forward slashes to indicate line breaks in the play.<\/strong>&nbsp; If you quote a piece of the play that is more than one line but less than three lines, insert a forward slash to represent a line break (the point at which one line ends and the reader must shift down to the next line).&nbsp; A forward slash looks like this: \/<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Use block format for drama when necessary<\/strong>.&nbsp; If you quote a piece of the play that is more than three lines in length or an exchange between two characters, you must use MLA block format for drama.&nbsp; Do not attempt to pad the length of the essay with lengthy quoted passages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"margin: 6px 0px;

The parenthetic citation must appear after the end-of-sentence punctuation in block form.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">When quoting dialogue, format similarly to the description in the preceding bullet.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">If the text you quote begins partway through a line of text in the play, use the space bar to make the words align visually with the line below\u2014in the same orientation as in the published text.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px;

the number or letter for that edition or volume; and\/or, the series name. &nbsp;Be sure to use full professional names (with diacritical marks) for any author, editor, or translator. &nbsp;If the author is unknown, begin with the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px;
