		Sir John Falstaff is a fictional character who appears in three plays by William Shakespeare as a companion to Prince Hal, the future King Henry V. A fat, vainglorious, and cowardly knight, Falstaff leads the apparently wayward Prince Hal into trouble, but he is ultimately repudiated after Hal becomes king.
		Falstaff's lines in The Merry Wives of Windsor are usually not included because the Falstaff of that play is generally viewed by scholars as a different depiction of the character.

	Falstaff of Merry Wives
		Falstaff's fame (and unmistakable form) were carried on into Henry IV, Part II, and his dying words give a reverberating pathos (even in the Hostess's mouth) to the early scenes of Henry V.
		Falstaff is a superb talker, an incomparable performer, a veritable "star of England," but he could never be considered for the criminal mastermind Oscar.
		It is vital that Falstaff be caught so that he may save himself with his wit, be fooled so that he may whip his persecutors with words, and be abused so that he may strike back with his most unsavory similes.

	Sir John Falstaff (In-Depth Analysis) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Two reasons that Falstaff retains this esteem are that he plays his scoundrel’s role with such gusto and that he never enjoys enough success to become a real villain; even his highway robbery ends in humiliation for him.
		Falstaff seems to scorn morality largely because he has such a hearty appetite for life and finds the niceties of courtesy and honor useless when there are jokes to be told and feasts to be eaten.
		Largely a creature of words, Falstaff has earned the admiration of some Shakespearean scholars because of the self-creation he achieves through language: Falstaff is constantly creating a myth of Falstaff, and this myth defines his identity even when it is visibly revealed to be false.

	What “Maior” is Falstaff Denying?
		It follows proper Elizabethan form, is based on the principal question of the scene, allows Falstaff to remain focused on his objective (proving he is brave), follows easily from the dialogue, and, as we shall see, allows Falstaff to make a witty pun on "major," showing his presence of mind in the midst of danger.
		Falstaff's pun on "major" as "officer" is apparent, but I believe an aural pun, based on a similar pronunciation of "major" and "mayor," was unlikely for the Elizabethans and certainly impossible for today's audience.
		Hence Falstaff's pun," and the note in the Arden edition explains that the pun is a "quibbling on 'major/mayor', pronounced often spelt alike." None of these notes questions the assertion that "maior" ("major") is pronounced the same as "maior" ("mayor").

		Falstaff seems graced with god-like powers, as when he joyously boasts, "The brain of this foolish-compounded clay, man, is not able to invent anything that intends to laughter more than I invent or is invented on me" (2HIV, 1.2.7-9).
		Falstaff's sententious and moralistic discourse caricatures regal rhetoric (the King's opening speech suggests a penchant for over elaboration, and in 3.2 Henry delivers one of the longest speeches in all Shakespeare).
		Falstaff thus embodies another paradox of folly: full of life, he is closer to death.

		Salieri's "Falstaff, ossia le tre burli" ("Falstaff, or the three hoaxes"), to a libretto by Carlo Prospero Gianfranceschi, was first performed in Vienna in 1799, making it one of his last operas.
		Another highglight is Falstaff's Act I aria ("Nell'impero di Cupido"), which is somewhat reminiscent of Bartolo's Act I aria in "Figaro" and even seems to look ahead to some of Rossini's buffo patter songs (I am thinking in particular of Don Magnifico's Act III aria in "Cenerentola").
		Falstaff, is one of Salieri's last operas (Vienna, 1799), and one of the first to derive its plot from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor (later composers like Adolphe-Charles Adam, and Guisseppe Verdi composed operas on the same subject during the 19th century).

	Falstaff
		The story revolves around Sir John Falstaff, who, having fallen out of favor with his royal cohorts in King Henry's court, is financially and romantically washed up, a toper and a gourmand, an eternal roustabout of huge girth and character with only slightly quashed pride and blowhardiness to match.
		Musically, Falstaff differs from operatic norm, with no set arias interspersed with recitative, but a subtle telling of the tale in rhythmic and melodic motifs -- a fusing of dramaturgy and music.
		Falstaff is a figure of fun to all, but it's the music that laughs the loudest, and which keeps a smile on the faces in the audience.

		Falstaff, who should react violently to the tortures of the “evil spirits,” instead receives passively an attack of quite merciful and not-very-energetic little pinches.
