There are three different kinds of stories which can represent three various love.

In the Story “The Chaser” which is written by John Collier. It’s a kind of selfish love which is the example of love in one-way. The protagonist in this story “Alan”, who is such a selfish man that wants to gain the girl’s love by the help of love potion. Love is so precious because it’s can’t be forced by anyone. His method makes the girl who doesn’t love him change passively. If affection has to use tricks to achieve, then all left in the end will be heart-broken and grief except true love.

In the story “The Unicorn in the Garden” which is written by James Thurber. The man who is the protagonist in this story is trying to reconnect the close relationship with his wife. He is so sentimental a man, that he doesn’t want to give up the love between him and his wife. When the consequence shows that all the efforts he has paid out is useless, he makes up his mind that he decides to turn his love into hatred. Because his wife’s doesn’t want to get back the delighted time they has been through, he doesn’t have other choices but leave his wife.

In the story “Gimpel the Fool” which is written by Isaac Singer. Gimpel, the protagonist in this story shows the unselfish love. Though Elka does so many unfaithful things to him, and he is so anguished indeed, that he wants to leave her. But things turn out that Gimpel still forgive her in the end. The unselfish love is somewhat of forgiveness which can make love more profound.

These three kinds of love shows different aspects of humanity toward love.

Gimpel cherishes the highest quality of love. Because he still loves Elka even she does so many infamous things to him, and he releases the feelings of hatred, turning it into another level-up and profound love.

Alan cherishes the poorest quality of love. Because he doesn’t know what’s respect. Respect is the basis of love. If he didn’t know what respect is, then he will be a selfish person who doesn’t care other’s wills, then he must not know what love is.
