Mood and Narrative Techniques in "Lather and Nothing Else” — Quiz

Question 6 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

Which line from "Lather and Nothing Else" best shows the resolution of the barber’s inner conflict?

Answer
A
“They told me you would kill me. I came to find out if it was true.”
B
I don’t want to stain my hands with blood. Just with lather, and nothing else.
C
A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam’s apple
D
And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No!

Explanation

The barber’s inner conflict is whether to kill Captain Torres or let him go. The line “I don’t want to stain my hands with blood. Just with lather, and nothing else” shows that he has resolved not to kill him and will remain a barber rather than a murderer. Choice D shows the conflict while he is still debating, not its resolution.
