Everyone should read “Timon of Athens” - some say Shakespeare’s worst, but it’s my favorite.
Whenever I think about lending, or asking for a loan or help (I am terribly short on money and very sad about it) - I remember this story.
- kwhitefoot 4y agoI've never read it or seen it performed. So I read the synopsis in Wikipedia; it's such a desperately sad story I can't imagine having it as a favourite however well done it might be. The synopsis reads almost as though written by Sophocles two thousand years earlier.
- flandish 4y agoYeah. I think that’s the inspiration of the character, but the play, in my “new to Shakespeare” mind, is well done.
