Concept/Digest

Spain, to Rizal, was a venue for realizing his dreams. He finished his
studies in Madrid and this to him was the realization of the bigger part of his
ambition. His vision broadened while he was in Spain to the point of
awakening in him an understanding of human nature, sparking in him the
realization that his people needed him. It must have been this sentiment
that prompted him to pursue, during the re-organizational meeting of the
Circulo-Hispano-Filipino, to be one of its activities, the publication of a book
to which all the members would contribute papers on the various aspects
and conditions of Philippines life.
"My proposal on the book," he wrote on January 2, 1884, "was
unanimously approved. But afterwards difficulties and objections were raised
which seemed to me rather odd, and a number of gentlemen stood up and
refused to discuss the matter any further. In view of this I decided not ance,
then challenge us and we shall pick up the gauntlet, for we are not cowards
like you, which is not to say that a hidden hand will not put an end to your
life."
Noli Me Tangere at a glance
The title Noli Me Tangere means “touch me not” in Latin, but the novel
was also titled The Social Cancer in its English translation. Historian Jose S.
Arcilla called it “the gospel of Philippine nationalism.”
The Noli progresses, Ibarra’s father runs afoul of local officials and is
accidentally killed by the Spanish tax collector. The Rizal family had
problems with the Dominicans in the Calamba hacienda controversy, and
Rizal used his novel to criticize the government and the church.
As Ibarra returns to the Philippines, he is very determined to lead his
people to independence through education. He establishes a school and
then comes into conflict with local authorities. The plot is further
complicated when Fr. Salvi, the parist priest who replaced Fr. Damaso, falls
in love with Ibarra’s fiancée. The love is never consummated and Fr. Salvi
appears as a pathetic and immoral figure. This section of the Noli outraged
the clergy because it pointed out their sexual indiscretions.
The plot thickens as Ibarra is accused of plotting a revolution. The
evidence of his insurrection comes from letters provided by Maria Clara. In
a rage Ibarra confronts Maria Clara, and she informs him that her real father
is none other than Fr. Damaso. Ibarra forgives Maria Clara for lying. He
flees with Elias up the river to the lake, but they are sighted by a
constabulary patrol; one of them is killed. Who survives remains a mystery,
but a dying man buries Ibarra’s treasure at the foot of his grandfather’s
grave. Believing that Ibarra is dead, Maria Clara refuses to marry Linares.
Fr. Damaso tries to reason with Maria Clara. He tells her that Ibarra
cannot provide her with the comforts, the birth privileges, or the status of a
Spanish aristocrat. She tells Fr. Damaso that she is hopelessly in love with
Ibarra. Then Maria Clara threatens to kill herself unless she can enter a
nunnery. Fr. Damaso relents and the Noli ends with a glimpse of the young
nun on the roof of the convent crying out about the inequalities of her life as
thunder and lightning roar in the background.
