The double nature of the comic hero is symbolized in these two: Falstaff and Socrates. They are of opposite disposition, yet not s...o unlike as we might think.

The Socratic method is a tactic of winning victory by professing ignorance, by merely asking questions of the "imposters," the so-called "wise" men of Athens.... We must remember that Falstaff the buffoon and imposter used the same sort of interrogation Socrates the ironist used. He asks the same sort of question: What is honor?

He has a double or triple character, for he is, as Falstaff was, both victor and victim--a victim, eventually, of the unthinking Athenians who refused to have their creed unsettled.
