[1] John Collier’s “The Chaser” is based on the situational irony of the unreal hope of youth as opposed to the extreme disillusion of age and experience. Collier builds the brief story almost entirely in dialogue between a young man, Alan Austen, who is deeply in love and wants to possess his sweetheart entirely, and an unnamed old man who believes in a life free of romantic involvement [The opening sentence of your paper It introduces your topic and sets the context].

[3]This attitude is made plain by the situation [par .2], the old man [par. 3], and the use of double meaning [par. 4] [The plan of topics].
