This is an interesting question to consider, as
personally, I don't actually believe that Captain Torres would reveal the identity of
the barber as a rebel sympathiser to his men, as they would kill him. However, let us
just assume for one moment that he did, and that night he tells his men about what
happened. Here are some suggestions as to how you can write such a presentation of the
character of Captain Torres.
I think any such account would
be full of the nonchalance of Captain Torres. He would obviously not want to openly
confess any fear or worry to his men, as that would detract from his character, so to
present him you would have to paint an account that is full of his bravado. You would
comment upon the way that you noticed what the barber in his account hopes that Captain
Torres does not notice: his trembling, the way that his voice is wavering and full of
fear. I think as well you would want to major on the first contact of the razor on the
throat of Captain Torres. What was the barber doing? What was Captain Torres feeling?
You might also want to consider whether the internal conflict that the barber
experiences is something that the Captain is aware of. Can he see the conflict going on
in the face of the barber? Answering such questions will help you to write an excellent
account of the thoughts and feelings of Captain Torres. Good
luck!
