INDEX: Hamlet in 3.2 as the boy Jesus lost and found (Luke 2)

In January of 2023, I began a 12-part series of posts regarding Hamlet's allusion to himself as like the boy Jesus, lost and found in the temple, amazing and astonishing the temple elders and his parents, a story from Luke 2:46-52. This is a very ironic allusion. The index of posts is below:
