... they use him to pay for drinks and get them out of trouble sometimes but that does not really bother him. His best friend would have to be the fat old slob Falstaf. Falstaf is always around in the story and talks all of the time. He also spends most of his time drinking in the tavern. Hal likes to hang out with Falstaf because he is funny and outspoken. Hal and Falstaf could make fun of each other and call each other names and that wont bother them. For instance when the prince started calling Falstaf, “This bed-presser, this horse-back-breaker, this huge hill of flesh”. Then Falstaf came back by saying, “Sblood, you starveling, you eel-skin, you dried neat's ...

... in our wonder and astonishment, hast built thyself a long-live monument," wrote Milton, in praise of Shakespeare. Shakespeare is by far and without doubt the most popular and successful writer of all time. But what of the man himself? Who was William Shakespeare? The life of William Shakespeare is shrouded in mystery. There is no record of him receiving an education, buying a book or writing a single letter, and no original manuscript of a Shakespeare play survives. There is no direct record of his conversations, and no one in his home town seems to have known that he was a successful playwright while he was alive. There is not even a contemporary portrait to reve ...

... to their close family members. The fact that Shakespeare was able to make the dialogue fit in with the scenarios made the action even more comic. The idea of the plot, although not completely original is still unique and is still used in modern work, such as the TV sitcoms like "Sister, Sister." Something that surprised me in the play was Adriana's character. She was insecure and portrayed the typical damsel in distress. She was completely dependent on her husband and this fact alone made the play somewhat out of date. Shakespeare is said to be "not of an age, but for all times," but Adriana's character, in my opinion, would not fit in to the modern world. ...
