or

HERE:
The ending in The Lion King is much more delightful than the vicious outcome in "Hamlet."

Answer 1

The period goes inside the quotation marks.

Answer 2

The easiest way to remember this rule is to ask yourself a simple question: Is the period part of the quote? In other words, is the play called Hamlet. or is is called Hamlet ?

In this case, the play is called Hamlet, so the period would not be a part of the quote, and would come AFTER the quotation marks. So, your first example is correct.

Answer 3

Hamlet is a play, therefore you shouldn't be using quotation marks at all. Instead, you need to either italicize or underline the title. Assuming that you needed to use quotation marks, however, the period would always be inside them.

Answer 4

What a good question. I've often wondered this myself. I would go for #1. The inverted commas are part of the title of 'Hamlet' and the full stop (what us English call periods) shows the end of the sentence.

Answer 5

The period goes inside the quotation marks. The latter is correct.

Answer 6

Outside the quotation marks.

Answer 7

the first one. Quotes are not part of the sentence, so the period comes after. Quotes are referring to a TITLE.

Answer 8

The first one looks correct to me.

Answer 9

the first one, you don't put the period in the parenthesis

Answer 10

they r both gramatically correct
