DESCRIPTION-In Timon of Athens, the wealthy, magnificent, and extravagantly generous figure of Timon expects that, having received as gifts all that he owned, his friends will be equally generous to him. Once his creditors clamor for repayment however, Timon finds that his idealization of friendship is an illusion. He repudiates his friends, abandons Athens, and retreats to the woods. Yet his misanthropy arises from the destruction of an admirable illusion, from which his subsequent hatred can never be entirely disentangled.
