From Litsy: Glad I have now read this, but it‘s not a favorite Shakespeare on the page.

I only read the Henry’s after reading The Mer

This is Sir John Falstaff’s play; it was a chance for Shakespeare to pad out one of his most popular characters and give him another comic moment. And he failed completely.
So when Shakespeare wrote this he focused on this one character, and as a result the rest of the play suffered. The cast were a
Okay, I finished it. After all these years, the only Shakespeare play I could never get interested in is finally completed. I read every word of it, and I am sure I'll never read it again.
It's not that bad, really--if you like bedroom farces punched up with dialect humor, second-rate puns and third-
