Annotation:
	Analyzes Falstaff in 1 and 2 Henry VI, concluding that he "functions very well as an example of multiplicity [and] . . . is also poly-temporal."  Notes that Hal needs to banish Falstaff and what he represents in order to legitimize his own reign as a type of regal self-fashioning. French summary, online.
