Timon is a wealthy and popular man in Athens who freely shares his wealth with others. He is generous to his friends and often pays off other people’s debts, throws lavish parties and bestows gifts. His willingness to share his wealth is known everywhere. While his friends warn him about the motives of those that benefit from this generosity, Timon firmly believes that everyone will always have his back.
Eventually, Timon finds out that he’s broke, having given out his fortune to others. When the creditors come calling, he asks those who benefited from his kindness for help. It is then that he learns the real value of those friendships and human nature.
