Book Description HTML
A scene-by-scene analysis of Shakespeare's merry comedy about marriage, honor, and revenge. According to evidence discovered long after the playwright’s death, Shakespeare wrote "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at the request of Queen Elizabeth, who wanted to see Sir John Falstaff, one of Shakespeare’s most vivid and popular characters, in love. The character of Falstaff also appears in Shakespeare’s two history plays on Henry IV.
