he takes it very seriously.
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)
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.
I think that the barber is a hero because he was the bigger man not to kill the captain. If he had killed him he wouldn't be any better than the captain. he could be seen as a coward however because his people look down on him because he had the opportunity to kill the captain. it's up to you what you think because he can be scene as both a coward or a hero.
Torres was probably trying to see how the barber would react.

The two conflicts in "Just Lather, That's All" are external and internal. The external conflict is between the barber, who is a rebel sympathizer, and Captain Torres, a brutal military commander. The internal conflict is within the barber himself, as he wrestles with the decision of whether or not to kill Captain Torres while shaving him.
Captain Torres can be seen as both wise and foolish in "Just Lather, That's All" by Hernando Téllez. He is wise in the sense that he suspects the barber's true identity as a rebel, and yet foolish in his arrogant belief that the barber would not dare harm him. Ultimately, his overconfidence leads to his demise.

False. The barber only realized Torres suspected him of being a rebel when Torres asked him to join the revolutionary group.
No, the barber has not killed any of Captain Torres' men. He struggles with the decision of whether or not to kill Captain Torres, who is his enemy, while providing him with a shave. Ultimately, he decides not to commit murder.
