Also, you will need to know if your instructor wants this formatted in MLA format (as is the norm for literature and humanities classes) or in APA format. The two differ in several ways with regard to both in text and reference page citations. Since you used the word Bibliography, I am assuming that your professor wants MLA format. What you are writing is literary criticism. So, collect your research (books and articles as the above poster mentioned) then outline your own thoughts on the two based on a close reading of the text. When you compare and contrast, there are two formats that are usually followed. You can either write all about Antigone then all about Hamlet, or you can structure each paragraph as a comparison of a specific aspect of each work. Use what you gather from research to support your own ideas regarding each comparison, and be sure to cite it correctly. I am providing you with a link that should help you with format and citations:

This cite has a wealth of information on structure and format for a litrerary research paper as well!
