However, as the night wears on, it becomes clear that Timon's generosity is not reciprocated by his guests. They begin to make excuses to leave early, feigning illness or pressing engagements, and refusing to stay for the planned entertainment. Timon is hurt and bewildered by their behavior, and he begins to suspect that his friends were only pretending to like him in order to benefit from his wealth.

Despite his disappointment, Timon remains optimistic and continues to believe in the goodness of humanity. He decides to throw another feast the following day, inviting even more guests and promising to be even more generous than before. His loyal servant Flavius warns him that he is being taken advantage of, but Timon refuses to listen and insists on carrying out his plan.

As the scene ends, Timon is left alone with his thoughts, wondering why his friends have turned against him and questioning the value of his own wealth and status.

Timon, who is known for his generosity and lavish spending, initially dismisses Lucius' concerns and insists that he will continue to give generously to his friends and those in need. However, when Lucius reminds him that his own wealth is tied up in investments and loans to others, Timon begins to worry that he may not be as wealthy as he thought.

Despite his concerns, Timon continues to live extravagantly and host lavish feasts for his friends and acquaintances. However, as the play progresses, he begins to realize that his generosity has not been reciprocated and that many of his so-called friends are only interested in his money.

As Timon's financial situation worsens and his debts mount, he becomes increasingly isolated and disillusioned with the world. He eventually abandons Athens and retreats to the wilderness, where he lives as a hermit and curses the society that has betrayed him.

Two lords, Ventidius and Lucullus, enter and discuss their financial struggles. They both owe large sums of money to Timon, but neither of them wants to pay him back. They believe that Timon’s generosity is a sign of weakness and that he can be easily manipulated.

Lucius, another lord, enters and informs the others that Timon has invited them all to a feast. The lords are excited about the prospect of attending the feast because they believe that Timon will give them even more money.

Flavius warns the lords that Timon’s resources are dwindling and that he may not be able to fulfill their expectations. The lords dismiss Flavius’ warnings and proceed to the feast.

At the feast, Timon gives each lord a gift of gold. However, when Timon asks the lords for their help in repaying his debts, they all refuse and make excuses for why they cannot help him.

Feeling betrayed by his friends, Timon becomes enraged and leaves the feast. He declares that he has renounced all of his former friends and that he will live in solitude and poverty from now on.

The scene ends with Flavius expressing his loyalty to Timon and his sadness at the way his master has been treated by his friends.

During the party, Timon gives gifts to his friends, including gold, jewels, and other valuables. However, as the night wears on, Timon begins to notice that his friends are not as grateful as he had hoped. They seem more interested in the gifts than in Timon himself.

As the party comes to an end, Timon asks his friends for help in paying off some of his debts. To his surprise, they all refuse to help him, citing their own financial troubles. Timon is devastated by their lack of loyalty and friendship. He realizes that he has been too generous in the past and that his friends only cared about his wealth.

Feeling betrayed and alone, Timon decides to give up his wealth and live as a hermit. He renounces his former friends and curses them, vowing never to trust anyone again. The scene ends with Timon alone on stage, contemplating his new life as a recluse.

Timon becomes angry and bitter, blaming his former friends for his financial ruin. He tells Flavius to go back to Athens and give his creditors a message: that he will never pay them back and wishes them all to suffer as he has. Flavius tries to reason with Timon, telling him that his creditors have families to feed and that he should try to negotiate with them, but Timon will not listen.

As Flavius leaves, Timon is left alone to contemplate his situation. He realizes that his former friends were only interested in his money and that he was foolish to trust them. He curses them and wishes for their downfall. He then digs up a buried treasure and decides to use it to fund his revenge against those who have wronged him.

The scene ends with Timon preparing to leave the forest and return to Athens, where he plans to wreak havoc on his former associates.

Timon, however, is not concerned about his financial troubles and instead laments the loss of his friends, who have abandoned him in his time of need. He declares that he will no longer associate with those who only pretend to be his friends for personal gain.

Timon's bitterness and anger is further fueled by the arrival of two senators who have come to ask for his help in funding a war against the city of Athens. Timon refuses their request and instead berates them for their hypocrisy and ingratitude.

The scene ends with Timon's decision to leave Athens and live as a hermit outside the city walls, where he can live without the company of those who have betrayed him.

Then, Timon spots his former friend, Apemantus, and invites him to join them. Apemantus, who has always been critical of Timon's lavish lifestyle, refuses to offer any sympathy or help. Instead, he uses the opportunity to criticize Timon even further and to point out the flaws in his character.

Timon becomes increasingly agitated and begins to curse his former friends, hoping that they will suffer the same fate as he has. Flavius attempts to calm Timon down but is unsuccessful. Timon then decides to leave and live alone in the wilderness.

The scene ends with Flavius expressing his loyalty and dedication to Timon, even in his time of despair.

Shortly after, Timon is visited by Flavius, his loyal steward, who brings him food and updates him on the state of his finances. Flavius informs Timon that his creditors are demanding repayment and that his friend Alcibiades has been banished from Athens for speaking out against the city's corrupt leaders. Timon gives Flavius gold and tells him to deliver it to his creditors, despite Flavius' protests that it will not be enough to satisfy them.

Timon then goes on a rant against society, declaring that all men are corrupt and that he wants to see the world destroyed. He throws stones at Flavius and chases him out of the cave, declaring that he no longer wants anything to do with him or any other human beings.

The scene ends with Timon alone in his cave, reflecting on his misfortunes and his hatred of humanity.

Timon is initially hesitant to trust the bandits, but ultimately agrees to their proposal. He declares that he wishes to become a "stranger" to Athens and all of its inhabitants, and that he will use his newfound alliance with the bandits to wreak havoc on the city.

The scene ends with Timon and the bandits preparing to depart for Athens, with Timon declaring that he will "shake the yoke of inauspicious stars from this world-wearied flesh." The language of the scene is full of anger and bitterness, as Timon rails against the society that has betrayed him and seeks to take revenge on those who have wronged him.

However, Timon is consumed by anger and bitterness towards his former friends. He rails against them, calling them ungrateful and selfish. He declares that he no longer wants anything to do with them and that he wishes to live alone in the wilderness, away from civilization. Flavius tries to reason with him, but Timon is adamant in his decision.

As the scene ends, Timon announces that he will leave Athens and go to the woods, where he will live as a hermit. Flavius is left alone on stage, lamenting his master's fate and wondering how he will survive without his patron's support.
