Summary Of If I Were You
The story revolves around Gerrard, a playwright, who encounters an intruder in his home. Here’s a brief summary:
Gerrard is preparing to leave for a rehearsal when an intruder, who resembles him, enters his house with a gun. The intruder plans to kill Gerrard and assume his identity to escape the police. However, Gerrard remains calm and engages the intruder in conversation. He cleverly convinces the intruder that he is also a criminal and that killing him would not help the intruder escape the law. Gerrard tricks the intruder into entering a cupboard, which he claims is an escape route, and locks him inside. Gerrard then calls the police, ensuring the intruder’s capture.
