When citing a shorter work (essay, magazine or newspaper article, short poem, chapter of a book, one-act play, song, etc.) in your essay, place the title in quotation marks. It is only appropriate to italicize titles of longer works (books, movies, epic poetry, albums, magazines, newspapers, etc.). If, however, you are handwriting your essay, go ahead and underline these titles. That being said, a strict answer to your question is no. You should not underline the title of an essay when using it in your own essay. You should place it in quotation marks.
