Sir John Falstaff is a fictional character who appears in three plays by William Shakespeare, as well as in operas by Giuseppe Verdi and Otto Nicolai. In the two Henry IV plays, he is a companion to Prince Hal, the future King Henry V, while the operas focus on his role in The Merry Wives of Windsor.Though primarily a comic figure, Falstaff still embodies a kind of depth common to Shakespeare\'s major characters. A fat, vain, boastful, and cowardly knight, Falstaff leads the apparently wayward Prince Hal into trouble, and is ultimately repudiated after Hal becomes king.In Act II, Scene III of Henry V, his death is described by the character \"Hostess\", possibly the Mistress Quickly of Henry IV, who describes his body in terms that parody Plato\'s description of the death of Socrates.
