Paraphrases & Quotes Paraphrases Quotes Paraphrases are specific text-based details that you rephrase (with and without the original words). Quotes are specific text-based details you copy word-for-word from the text and put quotation marks around them to signify they are exact matches. Do you want to summarize a paragraph or a page? Paraphrase it. Does the perfect, concise wording already exist? Quote it. (Famous lines are highly quotable too.) Example: Oberon and Titania are jealous of each other’s influence with Theseus and Hyppolyta and also argue over a changeling boy (Shakespeare 39, 41). The conflict is clear when Lysander says, “The course of true love never did run smooth” (Shakespeare 15). Non-example: In Act II scene I, Oberon argues with his wife (Shakespeare 39). It’s too vague. Titania says, “That they have overborne their continents” (Shakespeare 41). It’s not enough detail to stand alone.
