Question
read the excerpt from \lather and nothing else.\
i went on lathering his face. my hands began to tremble again. the man could not be aware of this, which was lucky for me. but i wished he had not come in. probably many of our men had seen him enter the shop. and with the enemy in my house i felt a certain responsibility.
which statement about the barber is correct?
his goal is to be a loyal revolutionary.
his goal is to harm his customers.
his opponents are the men outside.
he feels torn between staying and running.
In the story "Lather and Nothing Else", the barber is a revolutionary. He has the chance to kill the enemy (Captain Torres) while shaving him. But he struggles with his professional ethics (not harming a customer while shaving) and his revolutionary loyalty. He doesn't want to be a murderer (so he won't harm customers in the normal sense of just being a barber), his opponents are not the men outside (they might be his fellow revolutionaries), and there's no indication of him being torn between staying and running. His inner conflict shows his loyalty to the revolutionary cause as he debates whether to take the extreme action (killing the enemy) which aligns with revolutionary goals.
