TITLE


JOSE RIZAL preferred that the
prospective novel expresses the
backward, anti-progress and
anti-intellectual way Filipino
culture was.

On JUNE 2, 1884, Rizal
proposed the writing of a
novel about the Philippines
written by a group of
Filipinos.

His proposal was unanimously
approved by the Filipinos present at
the party, among whom
were Pedro, Maximino and Antonio
Paterno,Graciano López
Jaena, Evaristo Aguirre, Eduardo de
Lete, Julio Llorente and Valentin
Ventura.

Rizal finished the novel in
December 1886.
Rizal feared the novel might not
be printed, and that it would remain
unread.
A financial aid came from a friend named
Máximo Viola which helped him print his
book at a fine print media in Berlin
named Berliner Buchdruckerei-

Son of a Filipino
businessman, Don Rafael
Ibarra, he studied in Europe
for seven years. Ibarra is also
María Clara's fiancé. Several

Lieutenant
Guevara, a Civil Guard, reveals
to him the incidents preceding
the death of his father,


According to Guevara, Don Rafael
was unjustly accused of being a
heretic, in addition to being a
subversive — an allegation brought
forth by Dámaso because of Don
Rafael's non-participation in the
Sacraments, such as Confession
and Mass.

Dámaso's animosity against Ibarra's
father is aggravated by another
incident when Don Rafael helped
out on a fight between a tax
collector and a child fighting, and
the former's death was blamed on
him, although it was not on
purpose.

thought ill
Suddenly, all of those who
of him surfaced
with additional complaints. He
was imprisoned, and just
when the matter was almost
settled, he died of sickness in
jail.

Revenge was not in Ibarra's
plans, instead he carried through his
father's plan of putting up a
school, since he believed that education
would pave the way to his country's
progress (all over the novel the author
refers to both Spain and the Philippines
as two different countries as part of a
same nation or family, with Spain seen
as the mother and the Philippines as the
daughter).

During the inauguration of the
school, Ibarra would have been
killed in a sabotage had
— a mysterious man who had
warned Ibarra earlier of a plot
to assassinate him — not saved
him. Instead the hired killer
met an unfortunate incident
and died.
After the inauguration, Ibarra
hosted a luncheon
during
which
Dámaso,
gate-crashing the
luncheon, again insulted him. Ibarra
ignored the priest's insolence, but
when the latter slandered the
memory of his dead father, he was
no longer able to restrain himself
and lunged at Dámaso, prepared to
stab him for his impudence
As
a
consequence, Dámaso
excommun icated Ibarra, taking
this
opportunity to persuade the
already-hesitant Tiago to forbid
his daughter from marrying
Ibarra.
The friar wished María Clara to
marry Linares, a Peninsular
who had just arrived from

the
Governor-General,

excommunication

the
Archbishop decided to
accept him as a member of
the Church once again.
Meanwhile, in
Capitan
Tiago's residence, a party was
being held to announce the
upcoming wedding of María
Clara and Linares. Ibarra,
with the help of Elías, took
this opportunity to escape
from prison.
Before leaving, Ibarra spoke to
María Clara and accused her of
betraying him,
thinking that she
gave the letter he wrote her to the
jury. María Clara explained that she
would never conspire against him,
but that she was forced to surrender
Ibarra's letter to Father Salvi, in
exchange for the letters written by
her mother even before she, María

Ibarra had been killed in the
shooting incident, was
greatly overcome with grief.

asked Dámaso to confine
her into a nunnery.
Dámaso reluctantly
agreed
when she threatened to take
her own life, demanding, "the
nunnery or
death!“ Unbeknownst to her,
Ibarra was still alive and able
to escape. It was Elías who
had taken the shots.
It was Christmas Eve when
Elías woke up in the forest
fatally wounded, as it is
here where he instructed
Ibarra to meet him.
Instead, Elías found the
altar boy Basilio
cradling his already-dead
The latter lost her mind
when she learned that
her two sons, Crispín
and Basilio, were chased
out of the convent by
the sacristan mayor on
suspicions of stealing
Elías, convinced that he
would die soon, instructs
Basilio to build a funeral
pyre
and burn his and Sisa's
bodies to ashes. He tells
Basilio that, if nobody reaches
theplace, he come back later
on and dig for he will find
gold.
He also tells him (Basilio) to
take the gold

he finds and
go to school. In his dying
breath, he instructed Basilio
to continue dreaming about
freedom for his motherland
with the words:

“I shall die without seeing the
dawn break upon my
homeland. You, who shall see
it, salute it! Do not forget
those who have fallen during
the night”

Elías died
thereafter.
Tiago became addicted to
opium and was seen to
frequent the opium
house in Binondo to
satiate his addiction.

María Clara became a
nun where Salví, who
has lusted
after her from the
beginning of the
novel, regularly used her
EPILOGUE

One stormy evening, a
beautiful crazy woman was
seen at the top of the convent
crying and cursing the
heavens for the fate it has
handed her.
EPILOGUE

While the woman was
never identified, it is
insinuated that the said
woman was Maria
Clara.
EPILOGUE

Thirteen years after leaving the
Philippines, Crisostomo Ibarra returns as
Simoun, a rich jeweler sporting a beard and
blue-tinted glasses, and a confidant of the
Captain-General. Abandoning
idealism, he becomes a
his
cynical
saboteur, seeking revenge against the Spanish
Philippine system responsible for his
misfortunes by plotting a revolution.
EL
FILIBUSTERISMO

Simoun insinuates himself into
Manila high society and
influences every decision of the
Captain-General to mismanage
the country’s affairs so that a
revolution will break out.
He cynically sides with
the
upper classes,

encouraging
them to commit abuses
against the masses to
encourage the latter to
revolt against the
oppressive Spanish colonial
regime.
This time, he does not attempt to
fight the authorities through legal
means, but through violent
revolution using the masses.
Simoun has reasons for instigating
a revolution. First is to rescue
María Clara from the convent and
second, to get rid of ills and evils
of Philippine society.
His true identity
is
discovered bya now
grown-up Basilio while
visiting the grave of his
mother, Sisa, as Simoun
was digging near the grave
site for his buried
treasures.
Simoun spares Basilio’s life and
asks him to join

in his planned
revolution against the
government, egging him on by
bringing up the tragic
misfortunes of the latter's
family. Basilio declines the offer
as he still hopes that the
country’s condition will
Basilio, at this point, is a
graduating student of medicine at
the Ateneo Municipal de Manil
a.
After the death of his
mother, Sisa, and the
disappearance of his younger
brother, Crispín, Basilio heeded
the advice of the dying
boatman, Elías, and traveled to
Basilio was adopted by Captain
Tiago after María Clara entered
the convent. WithCaptain Tiago’s
help, Basilio was able to go
to Colegio de San Juan de
Letrán where, at first, he is
frowned upon by his peers and
teachers not only because of the
color of his skin but also because
of his shabby appearance.
Captain Tiago’s confessor, Father
Irene is making Captain Tiago’s
health worse by giving him opium
even as Basilio tries hard to prevent
Captain Tiago from smoking it. He
and other students want to establish
a Spanish language academy so that
they can learn to speak and write
Spanish despite the opposition from
the Dominican friars of the
With the help of a reluctant Father
Irene as their mediator and Don
Custodio’s decision, the academy
is established; however they will
only serve as caretakers of the
school not as the teachers. Dejected
and defeated, they hold a mock
celebration at a pancitería while a
spy for the friars witnesses the
proceedings
Simoun, for his part, keeps in close
contact with the bandit group of
Kabesang Tales,a former cabeza
de barangay who suffered
misfortunes at the hands of the
friars. Once a farmer owning a
prosperous sugarcane plantation
and a cabeza de barangay
(barangay head), he was forced to
give everything to the greedy and
unscrupulous Spanish friars.
