We can, of course, have students write about such issues, thereby encouraging 224 Literature, the Humanities, and Humanity Afterword them to think about such ideas, but essays take time to read and consider, and the scoring cannot be standardized, so the system works against such methods.

For poems, like The Iliad or “The Rape of the Lock,” I cite by book and line number. For the novels, because there are so many different editions of each novel, I cite by chapter number rather than by page. Finding the quotations in the edition you are using will therefore require you to flip through some pages, but it will not require you to run to a library to find a particular edition.
