forward slash for enjambment in quote? (1 Viewer)

[Exp]

When quoting texts, is it necessary to include a forward slash to signify when the author uses enjambment in a poem or play? ie "virtue be as wax/And melt in her own flame"

yup -- if ur using enjambment as a technique in ur analysis, use the forward slash to indicate the presence of the enjambment
but if ur using a device other than enjambment eg. metaphor, imagery etc, then you don't to forward slash the quote since ur analysis doesnt include enjambment D
