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.
