Can anyone tell me how i should cite "Hamlet?" It's an easy 10 pts?

Question

I just need a citation for Hamlet to go on a works cited page. It doesn't really matter what format, i just need one and i dont have all the things i need to do it.

Answer 1

You don't need to cite Hamlet if you write the play title in the text. Hamlet is public domain, which means that you need only quote act, scene, and line number. For example:

In Hamlet, Shakespeare has Marcellus say to Horatio:
Horatio says 'tis but our fantasy,
And will not let belief take hold of him
Touching this dreaded sight, twice seen
of us: (Act I,scene I, lines 30-32)

The name Hamlet should be underlined or in italics.

Answer 2

Here's a citation for my copy of the play, in MLA format. (Typical for Works Cited & English classes)

Shakespeare, William. [italicize the title, or underline it] Hamlet. Ed. Cyrus Hoy. New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1991.
