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

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

Answer:

I don’t want to stain my hands with blood. Just with lather, and nothing else.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story "Lather and Nothing Else," we meet a barber who is involved in a revolutionary movement. At the beginning of the story, he sees the politician he despises walk into his business. The barber knows that he has the opportunity to kill this man, but he is conflicted aboout doing so, as the man is trusting his professionalism. In these lines, we see that the barber decides that he does not want to stain his hands with blood. This decision resolves the barber's inner conflict.
