Captain Torres's real purpose in coming to the narrator for a shave was to intimidate and assert his power over the narrator, as he suspected the narrator of being a rebel sympathizer. By entrusting the narrator with a straight razor, Captain Torres was testing the narrator's loyalty and trying to instill fear in him. Ultimately, the act symbolized the brutal control and manipulation tactics used by those in power during times of conflict.

Extended metaphor used in the poem O Captain your Captain?
"O Captain! My Captain!" was written to honor the death of a person.The poet wrote the poem after Abraham Lincoln's assassination.He admired Abraham Lincoln and was saddened by his death.In the poem,Lincoln is represented by the "captain" and the United States of America is the"ship".The ship has endured obstacles such as the Civil War;everything is over,and there is peace.The speaker is feeling bittersweet about the victory.The poem begins with an image of a ship returning safely to the port.Crying for his captain,the speaker realizes that the captain has died at the sea.The onlookers on shore celebrate the ship's safe return,but the speaker mourns the death of his captain.As the voyage ends,so does the captain's life. In "O Captain! My Captain!" there is the representation of a wide range of emotions from joy to sorrow.The poem begins with the narrator feeling overjoyed because the "fearful trip" is done."The words like prize,won,bells and people all exulting give the reader a feeling of excitement and accomplishment.Soon,however,the mood swings from enthusiasm to sorrow once the narrator realizes that the Captain is dead.The words such as pale,no pulse nor will and fearful are the words that generally have the feeling of sorrow.The first line of each of the three sections begins with captain,and the section ends with "fallen cold and dead".The purpose of the poet beginning each section with captain is to remind the reader that the focus remains on the captain and nothing else,while the purpose of placing "fallen cold and dead"at he end of each section is to,at first,to inform the reader of what is to come,while later its purpose is to simply to remind the reader of the tragedy.
