What are the elements of comedy in merry wives of windsor?

It is a common aspect of Shakespearean comedies that misfortune befalls someone we don't particularly admire. (See, for example, Twelfth Night) In this play, it is Falstaff, who ends up beaten, dumped in the river, pinched and generally laughed at as a result of his arrogant project to bilk Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page out of their money by making love to them. Likewise Mr. Ford gets his come-uppance after wrongfully suspecting his wife. Suspicious husbands are almost always wrong in Shakespeare, although the results are not always so comic. The plot where an arranged marriage is foiled is a common element in Shakespeare's comedies, such as Midsummer Night's Dream. Many of the minor characters are designed for laughs, especially the idiotic wooer Shallow, who seems to have less than no idea what is going on. The characters Sir Hugh and Doctor Caius have funny accents, Welsh and French respectively.
