Timon von Athen by William Shakespeare
"Timon von Athen" by William Shakespeare is a play written around 1606. A wealthy Athenian gentleman lavishes his fortune on friends and flatterers, hosting extravagant banquets and rescuing others from debt. When his generosity leaves him bankrupt, those he helped turn their backs. Betrayed and bitter, Timon retreats to a wilderness cave, cursing humanity and Athens itself. This dark exploration of friendship, ingratitude, and misanthropy follows one man's devastating transformation from generous
benefactor to humanity's harshest critic. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
