To cite a Shakespeare quote, one should include the act, scene and line numbers in brackets. The act should be a capitalized Roman numeral, the scene a lowercase Roman numeral, and the line numbers should indicate the range of lines being quoted. For example, "(I.i.136)" would represent Act 1, Scene 1, line 136. Quotes of more than three lines should be indented.
