From the excerpt "Just Lather, That's All" by Hernando Téllez, you might infer themes related to moral dilemmas, inner conflict, and the complexities of human nature. The story presents a barber who struggles with his decision to either kill the man in his chair, who is his enemy, or uphold his principles as a professional. This moral conflict highlights the tension between personal beliefs and professional obligations.
Torres probably doubted the barber had the nerve to kill him. Torres was probably trying to see how the barber would react.

Even Torres finds it hard to kill people answer here...
The setting is probably in a war zone. If you are in an advanced english class then you will probably be asked about the setting clues. If not then you can just answer the barber shop. One setting clue is that the other character is a captain and you know that in wars there are captains, generals, etc... Also it might have been in maybe the mid 1800 to the late 1900s because of the razor and the lather. We have electric ones now and we don't use the razors because you might cut them.
Just put white out on it
I would suggest using Dove, Pantene, or Suave. They could produce just about as much lather as your head could hold.
The primary symbol in Hernando Téllez's "Just Lather, That's All" is the barber's straight razor. It represents his internal conflict between duty and morality as he grapples with the decision whether or not to kill Captain Torres.
From this passage, we can infer that the character being referred to in the passage has been absent for four days on a mission to hunt down the enemy troops. The mention of his four-day beard growth suggests that he has not had the opportunity to shave during this time, emphasizing the intensity and focus of his pursuit.
he takes it very seriously.
o
The Barber doesn't want any blood on his hands, instead he only wants the lather of the shaving cream. Pretty straight to the pointThere is a bit more to it. The title signifies the ultimate decision the barber makes between killing the soldier (blood) and providing him with a 'perfect' shave (no blood, just lather)
It uses symbolism and irony.
