ory characters of Falstaff are formed by his class status and social condition.
B. Psychological Factor
Most people usually consider that individual characters have two aspects. The one is the actions in reality which often reflect the human beings’ practice, the another is motive of actions which represent the mental movement. So discussing the personal characters should be research the psychology. The characters is a pursuing system and this kind of pursing system is motive power that forces the human being to do something for themselves and others, which distinguish the human beings from animals. Animals live and regulate themselves to adopt the nature by inbuilt ability no matter how it changes, while the human beings often want to overcome and control the nature heart and soul, and do always feel unsatisfied and try to do their best to change their living condition and reform the world. So from above evidences, the psychologists regard the characters of human beings as formed by two basic requirements, which are nature purpose and cultural purpose. For instance, though Falstaff is a knight and has decent status, in order to live and get the love he has to talk big, tell lies and often be teased by others. Without those things, the characters of Falstaff cannot make a deep impression in people’s mind.
Conclusion
This paper explains and discusses the character of Falstaff in the Henry Ⅳ and The Merry Wives of Windsor by comparing and analyzing methods according to Liu Zaifu’s theory. Compare King Lear with Falstaff, we have found that Falstaff’s indulgences cause him to slowly lost his life and alienate people around him, but he brings happiness and delight to people no matter how hard his condition. We also have found that there are complication existed in his characters. Though he is knight and has decent status, he has to lose his face and do some ridiculous things; though he is very old and fat, his wit to please people is proper with them. The human being has started to pay attention to themself since the Renaissance has appeared. The Romanticism of Falstaff is presented by his words and actions. In order to satisfy his needs and please others he ignores social rules and convention and expresses his feeling freely. The realistic meanings of Falstaff’s character are his courage which is often different from public voices. In addition, we also find out the causes of shaping the character of Falstaff. On one hand, the birth of Falstaff is not casual, at that time the knight system has been decayed and the humanism is in the embryonic stage, Falstaff represents the special class that should be doomed to die, because they do not want to do anything for themselves and idle about. On the other hand, the character is a pursuing system and this kind of pursing system is motivation that forces the human being to do something for themselves and others. Falstaff is a knight and has decent status, in order to live and get the love he has to talk big, tell lies and often be teased by others. In a word, Falstaff is complex person, so his characters are complicate and contradictory.
