Windsor is the site of Windsor Castle, a royal residence from the time of William the Conquerer, who reigned as king from 1066 to 1087. All things are not as they seem . Falstaff first deceives the wives. The wives then deceive Falstaff. Mr. Ford and Mistress Quickly also deceive Falstaff.
Insincerity breeds trouble .
Falstaff gets into trouble because he is insincere, pretending to be lovestruck when he is really money-struck. Turnabout is fair play . The wives turn the tables on Falstaff, and he gets his just desert. In this respect, the play resembles an American television staple, the situation comedy. There are no kings and queens, no dukes and duchesses, no earls and barons.
