How would I restate this quote...?

The sentence is "It is obvious in the presentation of the characters Proctor and Dimmesdale that Miller and Hawthorne share a common theme of the necessity of moral commitment." I just want to quote "Proctor and Dimmesdale" and "share a commone theme of the ncessity of moral commitment."

How would I write that when taking out words? Do you use brackets at all?

    If you're putting words in between you can either put the other words in square brackets or just inverted commas around the direct quote. If you're writing those quotes then use ellipses so it would look like this:

    "Proctor and Dimmesdale...share a common theme of the necessity of moral commitment."
