Explanation:

Téllez creates doubt through the narrator's internal monologue, showing his conflicting thoughts about killing the enemy or just fulfilling his barber - duty. For example, the narrator constantly weighs the pros and cons of taking action. Also, the description of the tense situation, like the proximity of the razor to the enemy's throat, adds to the suspense. The uncertainty in the narrator's statements about his own capabilities and moral stance further fuels the doubt in the reader's mind.
