Reading Guide & Summary

The Merry Wives of Windsor Read

MWoW web portrait The play is written by William Shakespeare in the beginning of the 15 century. The play The Merry Wives of Windsor complies many features that can be related to the Elizabethan age that Shakespeare lived in for some in his life. Falstaff shows up in Windsor extremely short on cash. He chooses to have the upper hand in the matter of the money and court two ladies, Ford and Page. Falstaff chooses to send the ladies indistinguishable love letters and asks his workers – Pistol and Nym – to convey them to the spouses. At the point when they reject, Falstaff sacks them, and, in retribution, the men tell Ford and Page (the spouses) of Falstaff’s aims. Page has no worries in herself about this; however Ford tries to take the chance and convinces the Host of the Garter Inn that Falstaff is ‘master Brook’ so that he gets to know all about his intensions. In the interim, three distinct men are attempting to win the hand of Page’s little girl, Anne Page. Fancy woman Page might want her little girl to wed Doctor Caius, a French doctor, while the young lady’s dad might want her to wed Master Slender. Anne herself is enamored with Master Fenton; however Page had recently dismissed Fenton as an admirer because of him having wasted his extensive fortune on high-class living. Hugh Evans, a Welsh parson, attempts to enroll the assistance of Mistress Quickly (hireling to Doctor Caius) in charming Anne for Slender, however the specialist finds this and moves Evans to a duel, and the twisted plot begins.
