Citing Prologues in Plays

Christina Gutierrez-Brewster, an English teacher, explains how to properly cite a prologue of a play in a research paper. She outlines the general citation format for plays, which includes act, scene, and verse numbers. For prologues, the format is slightly different, requiring the act number, the word 'prologue', and the verse number. An example using 'Romeo and Juliet' is provided to illustrate the process. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the citation method.
