Among the most popular of my posts on Hamlet and the Bible (through the start of June 2017), these four seem to be holding strong, perhaps in part because LinkedIn indicates that a significant cluster of the views are from professors, lecturers, and teachers, and the posts offer ideas that may be useful as discussion starters in a classroom setting:

"Four approaches to the names of the sentinels, Francisco and Bernardo,"

"Top 6 reasons Shakespeare probably named Francisco... after Francis of Assisi,"

"Shakespeare's Hamlet was something fresh in English revenge tragedies," and

"Some of the harder biblical allusions to spot in Shakespeare's plays are the ones that are more thoroughly paraphrased, or subtle plot echoes."

My most recent, which gives an example of a paraphrased bible reference, is also becoming popular in a short time.

But just because they're popular doesn't mean they're flawless: Feel free to contribute to discussion if you're so inclined.
