Question

Hi everyone, I'm a little confused about the poem "The Chaperon"

Answer 1

A chaperon is someone who accompanies someone somewhere and looks after them. Generally a chaperon is older than the person who is being chaperoned. 
In The Chaperon, a young man takes an older woman to a play, but rather than the older woman being the chaperon, the young man sees himself as the chaperon instead because the older woman is still young and youthful at heart in the way she's still able to flirt with men.
