MLA Citation Style
● The MLA citation style is most often used in the
humanities.
● In MLA, the concept of containers is crucial. If the source
text being used is part of a larger collection or whole, that
larger collection can be thought of as the container of the
source.

Croce’s analysis of Dante’s Divine Comedy focuses on the
form he used, which brings out the texts’ character. The
character is sustained by the terza rima form of the text, for it
gives the words a feeling of being in motion. They are not
simply static, or words that present the story. They are,
instead, seemingly in motion, touching on both past truths and
a capacity for the future. That there is this illusion of movement
within Dante’s words with the use form further affirm and
portray the emotion in his words and in his Divine Comedy.

Editor's Notes
Answers:
These examples are called “containers” in the MLA citation style.
The two documentation systems in the Chicago citation style are “notes and bibliography” and “author-date.”
Model Answer: I would use the MLA citation style for the paper containing this paragraph because its topic seems to be literature, specifically Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. The MLA citation style is usually used for fields in the humanities, and literature is one such field.
