Comedies
This tragedy is Shakespeare's most cynical play. Timon, a noble Athenian, wildly extravagant with his inheritance, spends it lavishly on his friends. His money runs out, so do his friends. This betrayal so affects Timon that he loses his mind and, after he accidentally finds gold, he disposes of it where he thinks it will do the most harm. Money--its virtues and vices--is powerfully argued in this unusual play.
