  • fair do's.

  • But your totally right that it could be her commenting sarcastically to the audience too... I kind of like that too.

  • omg! why are you missing massive bits and you're not even saying the bits of "there's sympathy" out to the audience. it doesn't make sense.

  • "There's sympathy" are Falstaff's words in the letter to Mistress Page (as in "you like alcohol, there is something we have in common, therefore we should get it on"), not an observation she is making to the audience about Falstaff's letter.

    Sympathy in this context = a way that we (Falstaff and Mrs Page) are alike.

    The editing is for student performance and, frankly, to make it more comprehensible to a modern audience.
