  2019 French Shakespeare Society (SFS) Conference on "Shakespeare and the Animal World," Paris, France 2019. Paper presentation: "Falstaff's Baffled Rabbit Sucker and Poulter's Hare in 1 Henry IV." In 1 Henry IV, Falstaff enacts his histrionic mock deposition scene, only to be usurped by England's true heir, Prince Hal. Irate at his actorly demotion, Falstaff praises his own performance skills, while suggesting that, if found lacking, he should receive a punishment befitting his knightly status. Likening Falstaff to small game hanging in a shopfront or above a market stall, Shakespeare offers the ludicrous imagery of diminutive rabbit suckers and poulter's hares as analogous with the metaphorical baffling of his cowardly knight's massive bulk.
