INDEX of posts on Jonah in Hamlet

In 2018, I posted about how the ghost of Jonah haunts the play, Hamlet. I came to this realization a few years earlier while teaching a college literature course: I was talking to the class about Hamlet's westward sea-voyage, and a student asked me to put up on the screen a map showing the relationship between Denmark and England, Hamlet's destination. Then it occurred to me: Hamlet goes west on a ship, like Jonah (another prophetic soul), and changes mode of transportation mid-sea (like Jonah, who is swallowed by a fish, while Hamlet is swallowed by a pirate ship).

Below are the main posts related to Jonah and Hamlet, in chronological order, although they leap a bit through time: INDEX OF MAIN POSTS ON JONAH AND HAMLET:
