Timon of Athens

Más información sobre el libro

The story follows Timon, a wealthy Athenian known for his extravagant generosity and belief in the sincerity of friendship. His life takes a dramatic turn when his wealth runs out, revealing the superficiality of those he trusted, as they abandon him in his time of need. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Timon retreats into the wilderness, where he becomes a bitter misanthrope, denouncing humanity. This complex character embodies intense emotions of love and rage, and the play is noted for its potential incompleteness or collaboration with Thomas Middleton.
