Wednesday, December 13. William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day:



"Thy father in spite put stuff
To some she-beggar and compounded thee
Poor rogue hereditary."

Timon Of Athens, Act IV, Scene 3, Lines 273-276.

5. I knew this one was going to be caustic; "Timon Of Athens" is
Shakespeare's angriest, most bitter play. It reeks of misanthropy. Some scholars suggest that this was because Shakespeare was old and tired when he wrote it, and his talent was fading.

These are scholars who apparently never saw the sublime "The Tempest", written after "Timon" and which concludes with warm forgiveness and reconciliation.
