Timon of Athens

Unlike other plays by Shakespeare, Timon of Athens did not gain much popularity during his time. Literature critics believe that the strange construct of the play makes it seem like an incomplete draft. Most plots within the play remain unexplained and there is less focus on the flow of the story too. However Timon of Athens is a beautiful characterization of Timon, a misanthrope who has shut himself from the world.
