Is there a specific way or MLA format to quote plays when writing an essay?

There are several things you will need to do in order to
correctly cite a quotation. You will want to include the act and scene in the sentence
with your quote, so make sure you have that information. At the end of the sentence
containing the quote, you should place the authors last name, act number, and scene
number in parenthesis. For a short essay, you will likely be using a shorter quote;
including that quote within a sentence is essential. For a longer essay, you may be
using quotes that are more than one sentence. For these quotes, you should place the
quote on a separate line indented 10 spaces, but still include the information in
parenthesis at the end of the quote. For example, a quote from Romeo and Juliet might be
used like this: Romeo predicts his own future misfortune when he says, "my mind misgives
some consequence yet hanging in the stars" (Shakespeare 1.4). Notice the author, act
number, and scene number at the end of the sentence. If you use a line-numbered text,
you can also add the line number of the quote.
