16. NOLI ME TANGERE
The plot revolves around Crisostomo
Ibarra, mixed-race heir of a wealthy clan,
returning home after seven years in
Europe and filled with ideas on how to
better the lot of his countrymen. Striving
for reforms, he is confronted by an
abusive ecclesiastical hierarchy and a
Spanish civil administration by turns
indifferent and cruel. The novel suggests,
through plot developments, that
meaningful change in this context is
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible.
Noli Me Tangere the title means
'Touch Me Not'
•Written in Spanish and published
in 1887, José Rizal’s Noli Me
Tangere played a crucial role in
the political history of the
Philippines.
•That same year, he returned to
Manila, where the Noli had been
banned and its author now hated
intensely by the friars.

Author: JOSE RIZAL
17. The death of Ibarra’s father, Don Rafael, prior to his homecoming,
and the refusal of a Catholic burial by Padre Damaso, the parish
priest, provokes Ibarra into hitting the priest, for which Ibarra is
excommunicated. The decree is rescinded, however, when the
governor general intervenes. The friar and his successor, Padre
Salvi, embody the rotten state of the clergy. Their tangled feelings—
one paternal, the other carnal—for Maria Clara, Ibarra’s sweetheart
and rich Capitan Tiago’s beautiful daughter, steel their
determination to spoil Ibarra’s plans for a school. The town
philosopher Tasio wryly notes similar past attempts have failed, and
his sage commentary makes clear that all colonial masters fear that
an enlightened people will throw off the yoke of oppression.
Precisely how to accomplish this is the novel’s central question,
and one which Ibarra debates with the mysterious Elias, with whose
life his is intertwined. The privileged Ibarra favors peaceful means,
while Elias, who has suffered injustice at the hands of the
authorities, believes violence is the only option.

18. Kabanata 25
Elias: Salome, tama ang iyong pagpasyang
manirahan sa iyong kamag anak. Limutin mo na ako.
Limutin mo na ang pag ibig na hibang at walang
halaga. Marahil doon ay makakatagpo ka ng karapat
dapat sa iyo.
Salome: Kung gayon ay dito ka nalang tumira, ang
kubong ito ang magpapagunita sa iyo tungkol sakin.
Hindi pa ako mag-aalala na tangayin ito ng hangin at
alon. At kung iisipin ko ang pook na ito, ang alaala
mo at ang ala ng tahanan ko ay magiging isa.

19. Ibarra’s enemies, particularly Salvi, implicate him in a fake insurrection,
though the evidence against him is weak. Then Maria Clara betrays him
to protect a dark family secret, public exposure of which would be
ruinous. Ibarra escapes from prison with Elias’s help and confronts her.
She explains why, Ibarra forgives her, and he and Elias flee to the lake.
But chased by the Guardia Civil, one dies while the other survives.
Convinced Ibarra’s dead, Maria Clara enters the nunnery, refusing a
marriage arranged by Padre Damaso. Her unhappy fate and that of the
more memorable Sisa, driven mad by the fate of her sons, symbolize the
country’s condition, at once beautiful and miserable.
Using satire brilliantly, Rizal creates other memorable characters whose
lives manifest the poisonous effects of religious and colonial oppression.
Capitan Tiago; the social climber Doña Victorina de Espadaña and her
toothless Spanish husband; the Guardia Civil head and his harridan of a
wife; the sorority of devout women; the disaffected peasants forced to
become outlaws: in sum, a microcosm of Philippine society. In the
afflictions that plague them, Rizal paints a harrowing picture of his
beloved but suffering country in a work that speaks eloquently not just
to Filipinos but to all who have endured or witnessed oppression.
