Falstaff suffers. Falstaff suffers from himself. I think that in the case of Falstaff's lowly state, Shakespeare indicates that Falstaff chooses to suffer. Therefore, why would God not allow it? I believe that some times people are so pitiful that they chose to suffer. I have succumb to this on some occasions. In these cases, I think it only natural that we suffer the consequences of our actions. In some cases, these consequences are positive and others are quite negative and are easily characterized as suffering. It's free will... and we have to face the consequences of being free.
