Proof of this is the way he described it, ".. I am a good barber, the best in town..." (Tellez) and he did not want to jeopardize his reputation or leave his profession altogether. The barber would have to flee if he killed the Captain because he is aware of the negative consequences that would follow. Would he have been a hero if he'd killed him?

If you were to ask around you would be told that he was well-off and distinguished and seemingly that was where his persona had stopped. So the question posed becomes, “why would a man so forgettable, be remembered for such a long period of time?” The works he…

scientifically, languages were created at the beginning of time because there were people scattered all over Earth, so they created ways of communication that differed.
