1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Falstaff some kind of [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass canny]] MagnificentBastard who [[SecretTestOfCharacter tests Hal]], and is eventually surpassed, or just an old fat drunkard who represents the worst excesses of Hal's youth -- who is eventually outgrown? Does Hal's rejection of Falstaff fall under SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, NecessarilyEvil, or KickTheDog? Do Falstaff and Hal even like each other?
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Falstaff. To the point that Creator/OrsonWelles made a whole movie about him, and eventually ''Queen Elizabeth herself'' requested a play just about Falstaff -- ''Theatre/TheMerryWivesOfWindsor''.
