so I'm writing an essay.
when I mention the play, Hamlet,
should I underline it, put quotations or leave it alone?
I need it tonight, thanks!

The rule for the name of a play is always the same as for that of a book--underlined or in italics. When quoting from the text, it is customary to cite the exact source of the passage, including the Act, Scene and Lines. An example:
"To be or not to be, --that is the question:--
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?"
-- From Hamlet (III, i, 56-61)

You underline the title of the play, Hamlet, and you put quotation marks around the lines that you're quoting. Use the MLA (Modern Language Association) book for further information.

Hamlet is in quotes or Italics (The Complete Works of William Shakespeare would be underlined as it is a novel) The quotations ar ein quotation marks and the page number is in parenthesis.
