Just Lather, That's All

                I chose this picture to connect to “Just Lather, That’s All” because it is a good representation of the dilemma that the barber is faced with. The barber is secretly a rebel, and a leader that he is against comes into his shop to get a shave. The barber quickly realizes who the customer is, and is presented with a dilemma. Should he kill him, or spare his life? There are two different paths that the barber can take. This dilemma connects with the picture, as there is a fork in the road. The road splits two different ways, representing the two different outcomes that the barber could choose.  One path can take the barber a totally different way than the other. This is true as the dilemma that he faces is one of big consequences. If he chooses to kill him, he would be viewed as a hero from the rebel’s point of view. However he would suffer severe consequences. If the barber were to spare his life, he would be considered a coward. In conclusion, the picture is a great representation of the short story as it represents the barber’s epic dilemma.
