Noli Me Tangere

What town in Noli Me Tangere - San Diego

Part One: The Return of Ibarra (Chapters 1-8)

1,2,3, and 5 - of the Noli are set in Capitan Tiago's house. We are introduced to the main
characters of the novel: in order of appearance. There are 6 who are being introduced, these are
Padre Damaso, Capitán Tiago. Ibarra. Maria Clara, and Padre Salvi, although the last is not
named.

4 - Ibarra leaves the party abruptly before the arrival of Maria Clara: he is followed by one of the
guests who informs him of the dolorous end of his father and the circumstances that led up to it.

6 – This chapter is the first in a series of character descriptions. this one on Capitán Tiago. Rizal's
character descriptions are small masterpieces.

7 - Ibarra meets Maria Clara and we learn their back story: the two are betrothed to one another

8 - the chapter entitled "Recuerdos ("Memories") in the original, contains Ibarra's reflections on
what he sees in Manila after seven years abroad.

Part two: San Diego (Chapters 9-16)

9 – (heated conversation, plot, and Javier de Pedro) Cosas del país" or "Local Affairs" in
Charles Derbyshire's translation) revolves around a meeting between one of the friars present
in Capitán Tiago's party and an old friar who appears to be near death. The younger friar reports
on the tense exchange between Ibarra and Padre Damaso Their conversation implies that the
friars are very much aware of their power and influence and fear the diminution of these. The
chapter seems to initiate a plot line: we expect to see friars moving in the shadows. plotting
Ibarra's death. but in fact, nothing of the sort happens. Dámaso and Salvi will plot against Ibarra.
but not because of the old friar's machinations. Javier de Pedro asks whether this chapter has
any basis in reality and calls it a pure creation of the author's imagination.

10 and 11 - describe the town of San Diego which will be the setting of most of the novel.
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

12 and 13 – (exhumation by Padre Damaso to the father of Ibarra) continue the story of Ibarra:
Ibarra violently confronts Padre Salvi thinking he had ordered the exhumation of his father, only
to find out it was Padre Damaso who did. The mystery behind Padre Damaso's change of attitude
deepens; at the same time, the foundations are laid for hostility between Salvi and Ibarra.

14 - Introduces us to Filosofo Tasio

15 and 16 – (starting story of Sisa and Basilio forms a contrast with Capitan Tiago and Ibarra)
and are devoted to the story of Sisa and Basilio. Sisa’s family lives outside the town. The
significance of which we leave to the student to figure out; Sisa and Basilio forms a contrast with
Capitan Tiago and Ibarra. These chapters introduce us to a new story.

Part Three: Town Life (Chapters 17-24)

17 and 18 – (Basilio dreamed of his brother being physically punished by Padre Salvi and the
sacristan.) Continue the story of Sisa and Basilio: Basilio comes home without his little brother
Crispin; he dreams of his brother being physically punished by Padre Salvi and the sacristan.

19 - Ibarra's schoolhouse project takes up all of this Chapter

20 – (is on the fiesta and Noli-life in San Diego means in English - novel of manners), cueing us
in on a thematic line of the Noli-life in San Diego There is a special term for it in Spanish literary
criticism-costumbrismo, the closest translation of which into English would be "Novel of
manners".

21 and 22 - The story of Sisa continues in searches for her younger son, is detained by the
guardia civil, and goes mad.

23 - introduces us to Elias

24 - presents us with Padre Salvi as peeping Tom.

STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

Part Four: The Fiesta (Chapters 25-32)

25 - Ibarra’s consultation of Filosofo Tasio on his schoolhouse project, is a major chapter of the
novel; basically, it discusses how one should pursue good projects in the Philippines. It is a rare
synthesis of plot and character in the novel.

26 - is on the fiesta

27 - At the end of which Sisa appears, is a jarring (reminder that the towns had marginalized
inhabitants..

28 to 31 – (padre damaso sermon about social criticism and social commentary.) continue the
theme of the fiesta, focusing on Padre Damaso's sermon: costumbrismo mixed with social
criticism and social commentary.

32 – (high point of the fiesta and There are three clear thematic lines at this point: a Costumbrista
theme; an Anti-friar theme; and a third on Cruelty on the poor.) It is the high point of the fiesta:
the placement of the time capsule in the foundation stones of the schoolhouse; Ibarra escapes
death narrowly in an accident during the ceremony. Suddenly, we have action. The accident,
however, was planned by someone who is a total stranger to us. In other words, the dramatic
incident in this part does not grow organically from previous scenes. There is a sense of things
just simply happening. What seems to be more important to Rizal is the incidental revelation of
the kind of society Philippine towns are. This part is mainly costumbrista. Together with the three
previous parts, it makes up the first half of the Noli, the half written in Spain. There are three clear
thematic lines at this point: a Costumbrista theme; an Anti-friar theme; and a third on Cruelty
on the poor. The novel moves slowly, not, it would seem, with much interest in plot.

Part Five: The Friars and the Guardia Civil versus the Governor-General and Good Citizens
(Chapters 33-40)

33 - Elias visits Ibarra informing him that one of his family's enemies had tried to kill him through
the apparent accident. This promises to be a new story but will in fact not be pursued.

34 - During the dinner to celebrate the fiesta, Padre Damaso insults the memory of Ibarra's father
provoking Ibarra to assault him. Maria Clara prevents him from killing Padre Dámaso.
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

35 and 36 - Are on the aftermath of the incident; everyone expects the worst.

37 - The governor-general visits San Diego and takes action to have Ibarra pardoned.

38 and 40 - The theme of the fiesta continues with the description of the procession and the
performance of the moro-moro.

39 - Devoted to the wife of the commander of the guardia civil, Doña Consolación. Sisa surfaces
in this chapter. She is the victim of the bloodcurdling cruelty of the wife of the commander.

Part Six: Conspiracies Serious and Ham-fisted (Chapters 41-48)

41 - There are two enigmatic chapters in this part: In which Ibarra receives separately two visitors
and Chapter 15 in which Elias visits the head of a band of tulisanes.

42 - Is another delicious chapter, this time on the Espadañas, specifically Doña Victorina

43 - Returns to the story of María Clara, involving the search for a different husband for her; Padre
Dámaso takes the lead here and the Espadañas participate.

44- Is equally on the story of Ibarra, but in a way that will not be revealed to the reader until the
end of the novel: ostensibly, it continues the story of Salvi's hopeless desire for Maria Clara

45 - Elias convinces the head of a band of tulisanes to forgo attacking towns, while Elias tries to
convince Ibarra to take up the cause of the tulisanes as victims of various injustices. These two
chapters seem like the beginning of new stories. They introduce new characters, this time from
the lower classes, and a new theme revenge-appears more than halfway into the novel. Perhaps
when Rizal called the Fili "perfect" compared to the Noli, he had this in mind: that, even at a late
stage, new stories were beginning in the Noli.

46- "Cockpit" is obviously costumbrista, but it also introduces us to the story of the rebellion that
will break out in the next part. With this chapter, we continue in the world of the marginalized.

47 - Seems to be comic relief through Rizal's mordant social criticism and social commentary.
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

48 - Ibarra catches María Clara in conversation with Linares and senses something is amiss; at
the end of the chapter, Elias asks to meet him at the lake.

Part Seven: The Mock Rebellion (Chapter 49-56)

49 to 50 - Elías is the main character.

51 - ("Changes") Continues the story of Maria Clara and Ibarra: the former is now being persuaded
to marry Linares.

52 - "The Card of the Dead and the Shadows" We meet the plotters of the rebellion and learn
their individual motivations for organizing it.

53 - ("A Good Day Is Known from the Morning") lays out the philosophy of progress but ends with
indirect skeptical ruminations about it from Tasio.

54 - alone among all the chapters, has no title. A very persuasive explanation of this is that it was
written as an afterthought and subsequently inserted in its present place. A possible indication of
this is the discrepancy between the dates of the dedication (1886) and Rizal's completion of the
novel (February 21, 1887)

be found above, Filipinos below. It is also most of the main character of the novel are introduced.

3 - still set in the steamship, the story is told of Ibarra's death in the waters of the lake.

4 and 5 - Two more characters, Cabesang Tales and Basilio are introduced.
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

6 - chapter gives the back story of Basilio since the Noli.

7 - Simoun himself gives us his back story. We are introduced to the two storylines that will course
through the novel: Simon's plot to Organize a revolution and the students' (Basilio's classmates)
project to Put up an academy to teach Spanish.

Part two: Protagonists and Supporters (Chapters 8-14)

8 to 10 - follow Simoun and Basilio's discussion in the forest, all on the story of Cabesang Tales
specifically, his transformation into a murderer and a fugitive with a little nudging from Simon.
Chapters 8 and 9 are beautifully written.

11 - The scene shifts to Los Baños where the students' request for a Spanish academy is brought
up before the governor-general, there on holiday. The friars are divided on the petition.

12 and 13 - follow on the student Plácido Penitente in which Rizal skewers classes in UST. Plácido
will end up on Simon's crew.

14 - on the students and witness the plans to push the petition for a Spanish academy.

Filipino whose favorable opinion on the petition of Isagani a student, seeks.

16-18 - connect with the story of lbarra in the Noli,

20 – It is on Don Custodio, Spaniard who has been asked by the government for an opinion on
the students' petition. Both are loath to give a favorable opinion because of the opposition of the
friars. In between the two chapters, are four on Simoun's plot.
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

Part Four: Failure (Chapters 21-25)

21- The two projects fail-Simoun's and the students' we see mysterious characters positioning
themselves for the revolution, which does not take place.

22 - the students find out that Don Custodio has come out negatively on their academy.

23 - Simoun belatedly discovers that Maria Clara has died; since the revolution had her abduction
from the convent as its ultimate goal, Simoun is completely discouraged and forgets about the
revolution. We find out later that he attempted suicide.

24 - is an odd chapter: it is about Isagani's date with Paulita Gomez whom today we would call
his girlfriend; he fears she wants to break with him, but in fact she does not. It seems its function
is simply to let us know how much he is in love with her, a preparation for an event that will occur
in the last part of the novel.

25 - they celebrate their failure in a Chinese restaurant

Part Five: Dénouement (Chapters 26-32)

26 - Subversive posters "full of threats, massacre, invasion" are found in the university

27 - in which Isagani has a long debate with a friar, Padre Fernandez after which he turns himself

consequence: Paulita, appalled by Isagani's action, accepts another young man's marriage
proposal.

28- There is one chapter on the dénouement of Simon's failed revolution

31 - the resignation of a high government official (a Spaniard) who interceded for Basilio before
the governor-general

32 - Basilio is the last of the students to be released from jail, the tragic result of which is revealed
in the following chapter. Rizal goes out of his way to connect Capitan Tiago's death, Juli's suicide,
and the resignation of the high government official in some way to Basilio's arrest.

Part Six: Simon's Second Attempt (Chapters 33-39)

33 - Basilio visits Simoun to thank him for interceding for his release from prison and to volunteer
for any subsequent plans Simoun might have against the colonial government. In fact, Simoun
does have a plan that will take place in the wedding reception of Paulita: he has mined the gazebo
in which Paulita, her groom, and their guests of honor will sit and filled the lamp hanging in the
gazebo with nitroglycerine. When the lamp explodes, this will be the signal for armed men outside
Manila to attack. Basilio will have the task of slaughtering everyone who refuses to join Simon's
revolution.

34 - In the succeeding chapters, the story of Simoun's second attempt at revolution unfolds. It
tells the description of the old house of Capitan Tiago where the wedding reception will take place,
and which is now mined.

35 - Describes the guests filing into the party. Basilio, seeing Isagani loitering outside the house,
attempts to lead him to safety, telling him about the lamp. Isagani, as though in a trance, refuses
to follow Basilio who flees. Isagani snaps out of his trance, decides Basilio is telling the truth,
rushes into the house, grabs the lamp, and dives into the Pasig with it.

36 and 37 - Spaniards and Filipinos in Manila buzz with gossip about the failed massacre. The
plot has been traced to Simoun who is on the run.

38 - In the countryside, there is an encounter between guardias civils and unknown persons. Two
of the unknown persons are killed; one of them is identified at the end of the chapter the father of
Cabesang Tales. The other is presumably Cabesang Tales himself. The third man, who escapes,
is Simoun, as we figure out in the next chapter.

39 - The last chapter of the Fili consists of a long conversation between Padre Florentino (the
uncle of Isagani) and Simoun who is dying after having taken poison to escape arrest. The last
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

part of the conversation is on the future of the Philippines and merits detailed analysis. If Chapter
7 was magnificent, this chapter is rightly called sublime.

The Fili follows two storylines until Chapter ___ ("_________"), when the first two storylines end
and a new one emerges. The two storylines are classically constructed and develop on parallel
lines. One storyline, however, is "concealed" behind the other, that is, in the world of Fili, one
storyline is publicly known, while the other unfolds in secret. The two storylines tend to be dull.
This is perhaps understandable with regard to the story of the Spanish academy which, for
students familiar with mainstream Filipino liberal thought, is predictable. We should not be able to
say this of the story of Simoun's revolution, and yet it is likewise dull. The reason would seem to
be that Rizal was not interested in writing it as a tale of action and suspense. He wished merely
to register the fact of it, and so we see the bare components of a revolution assembled, and
nothing more. On the other hand, the new storyline marks an inflection point in the novel. What a
contrast to the two storylines are the tragic story of __________ and the macabre story of ______
second revolution.

1. Chapter 33
2. The Last Argument
3. Cabesang Tales

4. Simon's

In the impressive opening chapters of the Fili, the chapter on __________ (Chapter ___) stands
out for its simplicity, restraint, and wry humor. Practically, all the chapters on Tales’ story will be
marked by the same qualities, to which we must add beauty. The reason is obvious: the story of
Tales is the story of Rizal's own family, and he has written it with his heart and not with his head,
which is how he wrote the to storylines. The story of Simoun's recourse to terrorism, on the other
hand, crackles with energy from Chapter 33 all the way to u end.

1. Cabesang Tales

2. Chapter 4

The Fili is dominated by the monumental character of ______. He is at the heart of the Fili as
originally conceived and strides through its pages like a giant, this is due in crest part to our sense
that he is more than a human being; he is a symbol. almost an allegory, that is, an idea disguised
as a person. He is that Glibust, that Blumentritt posits in the epigraph, actively using the very
corruption of colonial society to destroy colonial society itself.
1. Simoun
STUDY GUIDE ALL LESSONS FOR (CHAPTER 3)

Simoun's tone and vocabulary are _______. He is a slap on the face of Spanish readers, being a
friend- a crony! - of friars and the colonial government. But he is a crony not only of Spaniards,
but also of Filipinos, specifically, the wealthy. The Fili, like the Noli, goes beyond the bounds of an
anti-colonial text.
1. Eschatological

There are only two characters of some prominence after Simon: _______ and _______.
1. Basilio
2. Isagani

_______ seemed destined to play a prominent role in the Fili; that promise remains unfulfilled. To
begin with he does not play any significant role in the Spanish academy project. Among the
students he remains an outsider, the poor boy who has found a patron and manages to dress up
like his wealthy classmates, but who nevertheless remains someone on the fringe, not just
socially, but also culturally. He is shy and tells Simon that his only interest is to work and live in
peace.' Simoun's reply is wounding:
1. Basilio

_______ is confident to the point of being forward. The first time he appears in the Fili, he appears
together with Basilio. Significantly, the last time we see Basilio, he is with _______. Basilio alerts
him to Simon's lethal plan, and while Basilio hurries away from the lamp in fear of its fatal effects,
_______ moves to neutralize it.

1. Isagani

Rizal is deliberately contrasting the two. While _____ is the ordinary Filipino, ______ is Rizal's
idea of the new, ideal Filipino. Is he a type, that is, does he correspond to Filipinos who existed
then? It seems not.
1. Basilio
2. Isagani

___________ completes the list of important characters needed for the novel to make its point.
He is the oracle of wisdom who will debate with Simoun and explain why Simoun is wrong. Despite
his important role at the end, however, he is barely a minor character, having been introduced in
the beginning and not appearing again until the end. He may be the product of the late revisions.

1. Padre Florentino
