First of all the Barber is going to let Captain Torres live or go out the store safely. The first reason for this argument is that the Barber cares about his life and the store he works at because he is the best Barber in the whole town. Here is a quote from the story. “And with the enemy in my house I felt a certain responsibility. I would have to shave his beard just like any other, carefully, neatly, just as though he were a good customer, taking a heed that not a single pore should emit a drop of blood.” This is importance because the quotes shows that he cares about his store and his life to much to let anything bad happen to it.

Another reason for this argument is that the barber himself is a rebellion but he kept it a secret and not let anyone no because he is scared of dying, and he would rather be a Barber than a rebellion. Barber speaks to himself. “Yes. I was secretly a revolutionary but at the same I was a conscientious barber, proud of the way I did my job.” This is important because the barber was once a rebellion but he gave that up because he found a job that he enjoys doing and very good at it to. Also he was scared of Captain Torres because he had killed many people, and going to kill many more of his kind in future. Final reason for why he is afraid is of Captain Torres is because he has many that are loyal to him and would do anything for him. Here is an example when barber was thinking of killing him what would happen to his body, what would happen to him. He would have to run for his life time until Captain Torres man caught up with him.
