One way the barber is characterized is through his
background. While sharpening his razors the barber is stunned to see Captain Torres walk into his shop. Even though Captain Torres is his enemy the barber greets him like any other customer and begins to shave the man. I would be obliged to shave that beard like any other one, carefully, gently, like that of any other customer, taking pains to see that no single pore emitted a drop of bloodYes, I was secretly a rebel, but I was also a conscientious barber, and proud of the precision required of my profession. The author reveals that the barber takes pride in his profession. This is illustrated when the barber describes himself as conscientious. However, the barber is also working as an informant for the rebels. Therefore, the barber is faced with conflicted loyalties. Part of him wants to perform his job admirably while the other wants vengeance for his fallen comrades.
