The Destiny of the Heroic Beowulf
Remember that most of the works we have read thus far have been composed in verse (poetry). So that means when you quote from the text, anything over three lines must be indented one inch (two pushes of the tab button), or in other words a long quote must be set off from the rest of your paper by indentation. With prose (anything fiction or nonfiction that is not in verse) anything over four lines must be indented and set off from the main text. In a short paper such as this assignment requires, you should have no more than two to three quotes over four lines from critical sources.
