Mistress Quickly, Nym, and Bardolph are characters featured in William Shakespeare's plays that involve Sir John Falstaff, a comedic and roguish character who appears in both "Henry IV, Part 1," "Henry IV, Part 2," and "The Merry Wives of Windsor." While Charles Cattermole was a 19th-century British artist known for his illustrations of literary works, including those of Shakespeare, there is no specific work titled "Falstaff plays by Charles Cattermole." Therefore, this entry will focus on the characters as they appear in Shakespeare's plays, rather than a non-existent work by Cattermole.

Mistress Quickly is the hostess of the Boar's Head Tavern in Eastcheap, where Falstaff and his companions frequent. She is a comedic character known for her malapropisms and her attempts to maintain order and propriety in her establishment despite the rowdy behavior of her patrons. Mistress Quickly appears in both parts of "Henry IV" and in "The Merry Wives of Windsor," where her character is further developed as she becomes embroiled in the schemes surrounding Falstaff's attempts to woo two married women.

Nym is one of Falstaff's followers, a soldier of questionable valor and loyalty. He is known for his frequent use of the word "humours" to explain his actions and thoughts. Nym appears in "Henry V," having been introduced in "Henry IV, Part 2." His character is often portrayed as sullen and quarrelsome, and he is involved in various subplots, including petty theft and betrayal.

Bardolph is another of Falstaff's companions, recognizable by his red face, which is often the subject of jokes about his excessive drinking. Bardolph is a petty thief and a coward, but he remains a loyal follower of Falstaff through the "Henry IV" plays and into "Henry V." His character provides comic relief, but also serves as a commentary on the disorderly lives of Falstaff's entourage.

Together, these characters contribute to the rich tapestry of Shakespeare's history plays and comedies, offering insight into the lives of commoners and the underside of society during the time of Prince Hal's transformation into King Henry V. Their interactions with Falstaff and each other provide humor and pathos, illustrating the complexities of loyalty, friendship, and survival in a changing England.
