Answer 1

If your teacher didn't specify that the quotes have to come from beginning, middle, and end - then it wouldn't matter, just as long as the quotes demonstrate that the love was false.

Answer 2

Only use quotes if you need them in an essay they want your concept of what you read. It's okay to make a couple of quotes but doing the entire essay in quotation marks is going to give you a lower grade.
Three examples should mean just that 3 examples, doesn't matter where you found them in the book.

These links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions. Here is a short extract of what you can expect from the summaries.

Viola only needs her women’s clothes, which she left with a captain who, she says, was imprisoned by Malvolio. Olivia sends for him, and when Malvolio enters and gives her the letter he thinks she has written, she demands to know what happened. Fabian, another friend of Sir Toby’s, explains the details of the prank, adding that Sir Toby and Maria have gotten married. Malvolio storms off, vowing revenge.

The two couples – Olivia and Sebastian, Orsino and Viola – leave the stage, as do the other characters, so that only Feste remains. He sings a ballad whose lyrics suggest that, despite the troubles of life, the actors will always provide entertainment.

Answer 4

You only need to show the quotes that support your examples. When you state something in each paragraph put a quote in to back up your statement, then finish the paragraph as you normally would. It does not matter in which part of the play the examples come from.

Answer 5

No. The best advice is to write the essay first and then find places where you think quotes would support your argument and then find quotes to place in those places. Unless you are arguing that something develops through the chronological story. Then make sure you pay attention to where the quotes come from and maybe mention it in the essay text.

Answer 6

I don't think it matters, as long as you get enough quotes from the part(s) of the play that illustrates that his love is false. If the false love shows up in several places in the play, include quotes from all of them, with a reference to where it occurs (e.g., Act II, Scene 3).

Answer 7

it doesnt matter unless your teacher say else, but that would be a good idea to give 3 examples at the beginning,middle, and end, just so the teacher know you read the whole book, but hope this helps.

Answer 8

it doesnt matter yaar
