How to Cite in Norton (Links to an external site.)
According to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, seventh edition, In citing commonly studied verse plays and poems, omit page number altogether and cite by division (act, scene, canto, book, part) and line, with periods separating the various numbersIf you are citing only line numbers, do not use the abbreviation or ll., which can be confused with numerals. Instead, initially use the word line or lines and then, having established that the numbers designate line, give the numbers alone (226-7).
As MLA prefers, use arabic numerals rather than roman numerals. (Please know that this usage is an instructors choice, so if a future instructor asks for roman numerals, use roman numerals.)
Examples:
For Medea, the following is how to quote dialogue between two or more characters and how to use in-text citations:
Begin each part of the dialogue with the appropriate characters name indented one inch from the left margin (10 spaces) and written in all capital letters. Follow the name with a period and start quotation. Indent all subsequent lines in that characters speech an additional quarter inch. When the dialogue shifts to another character, start a new line indented one inch from the left margin. Maintain this pattern throughout the entire quotation:
Medea remains strong as Jason continues to believe he is innocent in his childrens deaths:

JASON. You feel the pain yourself. This hurts you, too.

MEDEA. The pain is good, as long as youre not laughing.

JASON. O Children, you were cursed with an evil mother.

MEDEA. O sons, you were destroyed by your fathers sickness. (lines 1409-1413)
