Brain Teaser Why cannot the bride marry the best man?The best man: 伴郎The short story is a fable of love with a strong sarcastic tone. The protagonist, Alan Austen, wants to find an easy soluti
11、on to the problem of love by purchasing a love potion. However，its not the love potion that the old man intends to sell primarily, but “life cleaner”. Global Reading - Text AnalysisText AnalysisThe theme of “The Chaser” is the cynicism of experience, portrayed through Alans youthful naivety and the
12、old mans pessimistic certainty.The title of this short story is somehow a pun. “A chaser” can be a person that pursues someone like in “a woman chaser”. In addition, it can refer to a weaker alcoholic drink taken after a strong one. A whisky, like the love potion, intoxicates. A beer chaser, like th
13、e “life cleaner”, mollifies the harshness of the spirits. The love potion and the poison go together like a strong alcoholic drink and a chaser.Global Reading - Text AnalysisText AnalysisStructural analysisStructural AnalysisThis short story, which combines elements of horror and love, is built almo

15、been introduced.Paragraphs 13-45: Alan Austen got to know about the love potion and bought it in the end. Paragraphs 2-12: The old man is trying to sell his mixture: the life-cleaner.Detailed reading 1Detailed ReadingThe ChaserJohn Collier1 Alan Austen, as nervous as a kitten, went up certain dark a
16、nd creaky stairs in the neighborhood of Pell Street, and peered about for a long time on the dim hallway before he found the name he wanted written obscurely on one of the doors. Detailed reading2-32 He pushed open this door, as he had been told to do, and found himself in a tiny room, which contain
17、ed no furniture but a plain kitchen table, a rocking-chair, and an ordinary chair. On one of the dirty buff-coloured walls were a couple of shelves, containing in all perhaps a dozen bottles and jars. 3 An old man sat in the rocking-chair, reading a newspaper. Alan, without a word, handed him the ca
18、rd he had been given. “Sit down, Mr. Austen,” said the old man very politely. “I am glad to make your acquaintance.” Detailed ReadingDetailed reading4-7Detailed Reading4 “Is it true,” asked Alan, “that you have a certain mixture that has er quite extraordinary effects?” 5 “My dear sir,” replied the
19、old man, “my stock in trade is not very large I dont deal in laxatives and teething mixtures but such as it is, it is varied. I think nothing I sell has effects which could be precisely described as ordinary.” 6 “Well, the fact is ” began Alan.7 “Here, for example,” interrupted the old man, reaching
20、 for a bottle from the shelf. “Here is a liquid as colourless as water, almost tasteless, quite imperceptible in coffee, wine, or any other beverage. It is also quite imperceptible to any known method of autopsy.” 8 “Do you mean it is a poison?” cried Alan, very much horrified. 9 “Call it a glove-cl
21、eaner if you like,” said the old man indifferently. “Maybe it will clean gloves. I have never tried. One might call it a life-cleaner. Lives need cleaning sometimes.” 10 “I want nothing of that sort,” said Alan. 11 “Probably it is just as well,” said the old man. “Do you know the price of this? For
22、one teaspoonful, which is sufficient, I ask five thousand dollars. Never less. Not a penny less.” 12 “I hope all your mixtures are not as expensive,” said Alan apprehensively.

Otherwise they would not need a love potion.” 14 “I am glad to hear that,” said Alan. 15 “I look at it like this,” said the old man. “Please a customer with o
24、ne article, and he will come back when he needs another. Even if it is more costly. He will save up for it, if necessary.” 16 “So,” said Alan, “you really do sell love potions?” 17 “If I did not sell love potions,” said the old man, reaching for another bottle, “I should not have mentioned the other
25、 matter to you. It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential. ”18 “And these potions,” said Alan. “They are not just just er ” 19 “Oh, no,” said the old man. “Their effects are permanent, and extend far beyond the mere casual impulse. But they include it.
26、Oh, yes they include it. Bountifully, insistently. Everlastingly.” 20 “Dear me!” said Alan, attempting a look of scientific detachment. “How very interesting!” Detailed reading17-20Detailed ReadingDetailed reading21-25Detailed Reading21 “But consider the spiritual side,” said the old man. 22 “I do,
27、indeed,” said Alan. 23 “For indifference,” said the old man, “they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration. Give one tiny measure of this to the young lady its flavour is imperceptible in orange juice, soup, or cocktails and however gay and giddy she is, she will change altogether. She will want n
28、othing but solitude and you.” 24 “I can hardly believe it,” said Alan. “She is so fond of parties.”25 “She will not like them any more,” said the old man. “She will be afraid of the pretty girls you may meet.” Detailed reading26-32Detailed Reading26 “She will actually be jealous?” cried Alan in a ra
29、pture. “Of me?” 27 “Yes, she will want to be everything to you.” 28 “She is, already. Only she doesnt care about it.” 29 “She will, when she has taken this. She will care intensely. You will be her sole interest in life.” 30 “Wonderful!” cried Alan. 31 “She will want to know all you do,” said the ol
30、d man. “All that has happened to you during the day. Every word of it. She will want to know what you are thinking about, why you smile suddenly, why you are looking sad.” 32 “That is love!” cried Alan. 33 “Yes,” said the old man. “How carefully she will look after you! She will never allow you to b
31、e tired, to sit in a draught, to neglect your food. If you are an hour late, she will be terrified. She will think you are killed, or that some siren has caught you.” 34 “I can hardly imagine Diana like that!” cried Alan, overwhelmed with joy. 35 “You will not have to use your imagination,” said the
32、 old man. “And, by the way, since there are always sirens, if by any chance you should, later on, slip a little, you need not worry. She will forgive you, in the end. She will be terribly hurt, of course, but she will forgive you in the end.” 36 “That will not happen,” said Alan fervently. Detailed

And, of course, she will never give you the least, the very least, grounds for uneasiness.” 38 “And how much,” said Alan, “
34、is this wonderful mixture?” 39 “It is not as dear,” said the old man, “as the glove-cleaner, or life-cleaner, as I sometimes call it. No. That is five thousand dollars, never a penny less. One has to be older than you are, to indulge in that sort of thing. One has to save up for it.” 40 “But the lov

Detailed reading41-45Detailed Reading41 “Oh, that,” said the old man, opening the drawer in the kitchen table, and taking out a tiny, rather dirty-looking phial. “That is just a dollar.” 42 “I cant tell you how grateful I am,” said Alan, watching him fill it. 43 “I like to obli
36、ge,” said the old man. “Then customers come back, later in life, when they are better off, and want more expensive things. Here you are. You will find it very effective.” 44 “Thank you again,” said Alan. “Good-bye.” 45 “Au revoir,” said the man. What is the image of Alan Austen in the first part? (P
37、aragraph 1) Detailed reading1-QuesionAlan Austen is depicted as a timid, skeptical and hesitant character. Through descriptions like “as nervous as a kitten,” “peering about for a long time on the dim hallway”, the writer creates a sense of apprehension. Detailed ReadingThe sophisticated old man had
38、 encountered many young men who had been in the grip of romantic desire before, but who eventually got tired of the possessive love they had experienced. He knew for sure that Austens possessive love wouldnt last long. It would eventually bore and repel him. He expected that when his enthusiastic pa

41、ionA young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girls heart; if he were rich enough, it would be much easier for him to win the girls heart.

42、.Detailed ReadingWhat is Austens understanding of love? (Paragraphs 23-32)Detailed reading23-32-QuesionAusten was filled with illusions and unrealistic expectations of love.
