when quoting from a poem do you italics, underline, or " ", in a typed essay?

Question

sorry i meant poem title not quote

Answer 1

You never italic! you always do " "

Answer 2

What do you mean, exactly?
When you put the quotation into the essay, you use quotation marks unless it is full stanzas, then you do it like a block quotation. You do not use italics. Italics are for foreign words and phrases, not quotations. When you cite the poem, you cite the title in quotations, not italics, unless it is an epic poem. If it is an epic, like The Odyssey or The Canterbury Tales, you put the title in italics like a book. Does that help?

Answer 3

I think it depends on the context for which your quoting this.

(If you're just writing notes or speaking on and IM to a friend about it - any informal situation - I'd often use italics.)

If you're writing it in a typed essay, yes, you should use quotation marks, because you're quoting information cited by someone else (speaking for someone, or however you like to think of it). More often than not you'd also be required to end it with (1) and following numbers and hand it in with a bibliography stating the sources of these quotes. :)

Answer 4

Use quotation marks for a short passage (a line or two). Use italics and a block paragraph for a longer passage (several verses).

Answer 5

I would use italics. It looks more like its from a literary work of art.

Answer 6

You would use quotation marks.

Answer 7

when you quote you use " ".

always.
