The Merry Wives of Windsor

Viac o knihe

Set in the Elizabethan era, this comedy revolves around Sir John Falstaff, a character previously seen in Henry IV. The narrative unfolds in Windsor, England, and humorously explores themes of love, deception, and the lives of the middle class. Although it is one of Shakespeare's lesser-known works, it has gained notoriety for its lively portrayal of Falstaff's romantic pursuits. The play is believed to have been penned at the request of Queen Elizabeth I, who wanted to see Falstaff in a new light.
