I wondered if these four types would possibly correlate with Keirsey's four types? I don't know the types of two of the characters, but I have seen Quizote typed as an INFP, and Hamlet is almost always typed as an Intuitive, sometimes an NT. I don't know Falstaff but isn't be the source of humour in the play(s) in which he appears, indicating the SP joker perhaps? And Panza as the SJ? Just a musing really, but it's interesting how we tend to like to classify people under one of four temperaments throughout human history.
As for human nature, he suggests that all people -- not to mention all literary characters -- can be divided into four types: Hamlets, Falstaffs, Don Quixotes or Sancho Panzas.
