my lecturer said you shouldn't put quote marks, but just indent it and leave a line before and after it. is that the same for shakespeare?

If it has line breaks, it is verse. For Shakespeare, if it is written in pentameter, it is verse. If it's a paragraph, then it is prose.
If it takes up three lines or more on your page, you indent with the block quote. If not, you use the quotation marks in a line quote.

It is prose, but it is that typical Shakespearean style which makes it look like verse. To quote prose just simply put quotation marks around the part you want to quote " " and then indicate what part of the play it comes from in parentheses ( )
