newcritics: What Is The Question?

    The one line of Falstaff's I've always loved is, "If I had a thousand sons, the first humane principle I should teach them would be to forswear thin potations and addict themselves to sack."

    Bring on the Dry Sack, Jack!

    (Quoting from memory, so, scholars, don't be hatin'.)

    I'm not saying Falstaff doesn't have his moments. My favorite line of his (so far): "There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune..."

    Dan's Dry Sack line killed me.

    Kathleen, nice post and thanks for the kind wishes - you're a big part of this.
