Plot summary

John Falstaff is down on his luck in the suburbs of Windsor, and a comfortable retirement is nowhere in view. The town of Windsor holds two wealthy households, and Falstaff settles on the wives of both, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, as his route to an easier life. He sets about courting the two women. What he does not know is that the women of Windsor are the ones who decide how matters go there, and that the two wives have their own intentions. Around them the town keeps up its petty rivalries, its jealousies and its inflated opinion of itself.
