Harold Bloom makes a literary, critical and above all humanistic approach to the characters he considers most relevant in Shakespeare. The first: Falstaff. Two years before his death, Harold Bloom began a series of five books in which he carried out a literary, critical and, above all, humanistic analysis of Shakespeare's characters. The first was dedicated to Falstaff with whom Bloom felt especially identified in his way of loving life. "If Hamlet is the ambassador of death, Falstaff is the ambassador of life," Bloom, who played the Fat Knight on the stages of the British Art Center at Yale and previously in Cambridge, Massachusetts, saw Falstaff, and himself as one of those professors without colleagues and with numerous students. Influenced by the Shakespearean character, he loved life, enjoyed it, and taught it. He did not want academic disciples but human beings capable of reading and questioning themselves.
