Image description

In this episode (Act IV, scene 3) the now famous cynic, living rough, is visited by the golden youth and distinguished general, Alcibiades, in the company of two beautiful courtesans. Timon has just dug up some money by rather improbable good fortune and throws it contemptuously at the young women, bidding them them all be damned. Here and throughout the play Timon's bitter railing makes Lear seem easy-going. Dance does not seem to wish to match Shakespeare's depiction of corruption and disillusionment, choosing rather to extract this single episode and enoble it.
