I had to write a BIG-ASS paper for my IB Diploma in high school about the character of Falstaff, and in college I studied Henry IV Part 1 again. The first time I read these, they were boring as sin, aside from the Falstaff stuff, which is extremely funny/sad. However, with more study, my appreciation has grown for Part 1. All the stuff with the King and Hotspur are really interesting. Part 2 is really boring for the most part though.
