John Collier’s “The Chaser” is based on the situational irony of a young man with unreal hope. John Collier creates the short story almost entirely in dialogue between a young man‚ Alan Austen‚ who is head over heels in love and wants to possess his crush to be completely devoted to him‚ and an old man who believes in a life with zero romantic involvement. The situation reflects hidden discontentment that the story may in fact be called cynical. This is made plain by the situation‚ the unnamed old
