underline? (1 Viewer)

[im an idiot]

hey are poems, such as Wordsworths poems, supposed to be underlined or in quotes when we introduce them?

No you don't have to.
I can't anyway.

..you can't?

regardless i know its one or the other

you can do either - just make sure you do one
especially important if you do somethig like Hamlet where it is ambigious as to whether you are referring to the character or the play - same as something like Frontline

'Hamlet' = text
Hamlet = character

Easy!

I type
but its in notepad and it has no formatting though or spell check obviously
so yeah... hence I can't underline so I don't need 2 worry about that

anyway, its up to you.
In my notes, yes I do have them underlined.

'Tintern Abbey' or Tintern Abbey = name of a text
"moral guardian" = quote from text (TA)
Wordsworth = author/character

whether you inclose a text's name or underline it doesn't matter so long as you're consistent in your approach
