Timon of Athens Act III

In which Lord Timon, once lavish and esteemed, finds himself forsaken by those he counted friends and creditors alike, their fairweather loyalty turned to cold denial; thus embittered, he conceives a final, scornful feast where false friendships are unmasked in winter’s chill. Meanwhile, interwoven are councils of grave senators and restless knights whose honour and mercy are weighed, as the city’s tides of favour and misfortune ebb and flow with mortal frailties and politic strife.
