Synopsis "Las Alegres Casadas de Windsor (in Spanish)"

Si LAS ALEGRES CASADAS DE WINDSOR ha ocupado desde siempre un lugar de primer orden dentro de la obra de William Shakespeare (1574-1616), es gracias a su principal protagonista, Sir John Falstaff, uno de los más grandes personajes masculinos creados por el autor y que había dejado ya una impronta indeleble en la obra «Enrique IV». De su patética y genial trayectoria traza una breve semblanza en el prólogo a esta comedia Vicente Molina Foix. Fanfarrón, anárquico, lúdico, rebelde, libre en su existencia sólo atenta al goce, el desorden y los excesos, Falstaff resulta en esta comedia el objeto de todas las burlas y engaños, pero aun así sus enormes figura y personalidad acaban arrojando una sombra de duda sobre el daño que tales peripecias hayan podido hacer en la libertad de su espíritu.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
