Sir John

Sir John Falstaff

From the epilogue of Shakespeare’s 2 Henry 4?

“Falstaff shall die of a sweat, unless already ’a be kill’d with your hard opinions; for Oldcastle died a martyr, and this is not the man.”

Saw the OldCastle name, made me think of that.

Bloom argues, rightfully so, that Falstaff was one of Shakespeare’s greatest characters, the Falstaff of King Henry the Fourth parts 1 & 2. Supposedly, the original manuscript name was Oldcastle.
