Comparison of Noli Me Tangere and El filibusterismo


Differences
For me the difference between Noli Me Tangere and El
Filibusterismo is the Noli Me Tangere describes
resurgence in thought long dead. Meanwhile the El
filibusrerismo describes the pain of society today.
el filibusterismo- a political novel, dedicated to
GOMBURZA.
noli me tangere- romantic novel, dedicated to
motherland.
Similarities:
The two are similiar in few cases : they talk about how
the Spaniards abused the Filipinos, the abuse of the
church of their power, the discrimination on Filipinos.
Noli Me Tangere is a novel written by Jose Rizal, same is
true with El Filibusterismo. But it is published as sequel
or continuation. So they convey one story. Same
characters but with great changes in their personality
especially the main cast, Mr.Crisostomo Ibarra.

2.On this day when the nation marks the


death anniversary of our national hero Dr.
Jose Rizal, let us remember him with this
excerpt from his novel “Noli Me Tangere
(Touch Me Not),” written in 1887.
The novel and its companion volume “El
Filibusterismo” are said to have fired up
Filipino public sentiment against Spanish
colonial rule, particularly the role played by
Spanish friars who, in many towns, became
the embodiments of colonial power and
arrogance. Without the novels, it is believed,
it would not have been possible for the
popular agitation for reforms to grow into a
full-blown armed revolution led by Andres
Bonifacio and the Katipunan.

The excerpt is taken from the famous “idyll in


the azotea,” an open-air porch in ancestral
homes, where the hero of the “Noli,”
Crisostomo Ibarra, meets in a tryst with
Maria Clara, the love of his youth whom he
had left in the Philippines for studies in
Europe. Returning to put up a school for the
town’s young people, Ibarra finds that his
father had died in his absence, and worse, the
father’s grave had been desecrated
and emptied on orders of the parish priest.

3. Noli Me Tangere showed a softspoken, patient, compassionate,


and idealistic Juan Crisostomo Ibarra. Dito sa nobelang ito
makikita natin kung paanong buong loob na tiniis ni Ibarra ang
pang-aapi ng mga Kastila sa mga kababayan niya, lalo na sa
pamilya niya(ang kanyang amang si Don Rafael ay pinatay at
ipinatapon, 'di binigyan ng maayos na libing). Ang tanging
hangad nya lang kasi e makapagtayo ng isang paaralan para sa
kabataan. Pero ang lahat ng kanyang mga pangarap ay nawasak
dahil sa mga mapang-api.

El Filibusterismo featured a different Ibarra. This sequel to Noli


portrayed the angry, vengeful side of Ibarra who disguised
himself as the wealthy jeweler named Simoun. He is a close
friend of the Kapitan Heneral (then the highest officer of the
Philippines) who came to avenge himself and his country. Sa
nobelang ito pinakita ang mga hakbang na isinagawa ni Ibarra
para iganti ang bayan, lalo na ang kanyang sarili. Ang taktikang
ginamit niya: panlilinlang. Palihim niyang inuudyukan ang mga
Kastila na lalong pahirapan at alipustain ang mga indiyo dahil ito
umano ang magpapasiklab ng damdaming makabayan ng mga
Pilipino. Gusto niyang magsimula ang isang makabayang
rebolusyon. Subalit nabigo siya.

Kaya masasabi nating malaki ang pinag-iba ng ugali at paniniwala


ni Ibarra sa Noli at El Fili. Kung sa Noli, nakita natin ang isang
mahinahon at mapag-pasensyang Ibarra, sa El Fili naman
masasaksihan natin ang isang mapanlinlang na si Simoun na nag-
uumapaw ang galit dahil sa kanyang mga naranasang kaapihan.
4. The important life lesson of rizal from the novels is that, we
should never forget to show our love to our own country
especially many of our ancestors sacrifice their lives to win our
freedom. Also the love of family as what have rizal showed in noli
me tangere the love of our parents to us which had been showed
by sisa to her sons basilio and crispin, and the love of the children
to the parents showed by crisostomo that he go back to the
motherland just only investigate of what truly happened to his
father don Ibarra. Lastly it reminds us that taking revenge
wouldn’t solve any mistakes like simoun in the el filibusterismo.
That’s the life lesson showed
Last Farewell
By Dr. Jose Rizal; Translated by Bernardino Owano

Farewell, adored Fatherland, the sun's beloved clime,


Pearl of the Orient seas, our lost Paradise;
Gladly now I give thee this faded, languid life:
If it were brighter, fresher, or more blest
Still would I give it thee; I would give it for thy sake.

On the fields of battle, madly struggling with frenzy,


Others give thee their lives, without doubts, without regrets;
The place matters not; cypress, laurel or lily,
Scaffold or open country, combat or cruel martyrdom,
All are alike if needed by home and country.

I die as I see dawn brighten the sky,


And at last herald the day behind this dismal night.
If you needst crimson to tinge thy dawn,
Shed my blood, pour it in the hour of need,
With it I give thee a likeness of thy own light.

My dreams, even in early adolescence,


My dreams, in youth, then overflowing with vigor,
Were one day, to see thee, gem of the Orient seas,
Dry they ebony eyes, hold thy brow serene,
Without frowns, without furrows, nor stigma of shame.

The dreams of my life, my ardent, living desire,


Hail to thee! greets the soul which hurriedly departs,
Hail to thee! oh, how lovely to fall that thou mayest rise,
To die to give thee life, to die underneath thy skies,
And to sleep all eternity in thy enchanted earth!

If over my tomb, one day thou seest grow,


Amidst dense weeds, a simple, humble flower,
Draw it to thy lips, 'tis the flower of my soul
And I shall feel on my brow, beneath the cold tomb,
The flow of thy tenderness, the warmth of thy breath.

Let the moon watch me with soft tranquil light,


Let the dawn send its swiftly fleeting brightness,
Let the wind moan its solemn murmurs,
And if a bird descends and on my cross alights,
Let the bird sing its canticle of peace!

Let the burning sun evaporate the rains,


In the sky let them turn pure with my pursuing anguish;
Let a friendly soul weep over my untimely end,
And in the still evenings, when someone prays for me,
Pray too, oh Fatherland, that in God I rest!

Pray for all who died without happiness,


For all those who perished in unequaled torments,
For our unhappy mothers who moan in bitterness,
For orphans and widows, for tortured prisoners,
and pray for thee, that thou mayest see thy liberty!

And when at night the graveyard is wrapped in darkness,


And only, only the dead remain there keeping watch,
Disturb not its peace, disturb not the mystery,
Perhaps thou mayest hear a zither or a rosary:
'Tis I beloved Country, I, who sing unto thee!

And when alas! my tomb, forgotten by all,


Has neither cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let men plow it, let be scatter with spade,
And my remains, before they return to nothingness,
May they form the dust of thy earthly floor . . .

Then it matters not if I am consigned to oblivion,


In the air, through thy space, over thy vales shall I fly,
Vibrant and distinct sound shall I be to thy ears;
Fragrance, light, rainbow, murmur, song, groaning,
Constantly repeat the essence of my faith.

My idolized Country, grief of my griefs,


Beloved Philippines, hear now my last farewell!
Here I leave thee all: my parents, my loved ones,
I go whither there are no slaves, tyrants or oppressors,
Where faith never kills, where God alone Reigns.

Farewell, parents and brothers, torn from my own soul.


Friends of my childhood days in our home dispossessed,
Be grateful that I rest from the wearisome day!
Farewell to thee, sweet stranger, my friend, my happiness!
Farewell, beloved creatures all! to die is to rest!
To the Young Women of
Malolos: Summary and
Analysis
Jose Rizal’s legacy to Filipino women is embodied in his famous
essay entitled, “To the Young Women of Malolos,” where he
addresses all kinds of women – mothers, wives, the unmarried, etc.
and expresses everything that he wishes them to keep in mind.

SUMMARY

“To the Women of Malolos” was originally written in Tagalog. Rizal


penned this writing when he was in London, in response to the
request of Marcelo H. del Pilar. The salient points contained in this
letter are as follows:

1. The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars – not all


of the priests in the country that time embodied the true spirit
of Christ and His Church. Most of them were corrupted by
worldly desires and used worldly methods to effect change and
force discipline among the people.
2. The defense of private judgment
3. Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess – as
evidenced by this portion of his letter, Rizal is greatly
concerned of the welfare of the Filipino children and the homes
they grow up in.
4. Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to their
children
5. Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband –
Filipino women are known to be submissive, tender, and
loving. Rizal states in this portion of his letter how Filipino
women ought to be as wives, in order to preserve the identity
of the race.
6. Counsel to young women on their choice of a lifetime
partner

RIZAL’S MESSAGE TO FILIPINO WOMEN

Jose Rizal was greatly impressed by the fighting spirit that the
young women of Malolos had shown. In his letter, he expresses
great joy and satisfaction over the battle they had fought. In this
portion of Rizal’s letter, it is obvious that his ultimate desire was for
women to be offered the same opportunities as those received by
men in terms of education. During those days young girls were not
sent to school because of the universal notion that they would soon
only be taken as wives and stay at home with the children. Rizal,
however, emphasizes on freedom of thought and the right to
education, which must be granted to both boys and girls alike.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FILIPINO MOTHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN

Rizal stipulates a number of important points in this portion of his


letter to the young women of Malolos. The central idea here,
however, is that whatever a mother shows to her children is what
the children will become also. If the mother is always kissing the
hand of the friars in submission, then her children will grow up to be
sycophants and mindless fools who do nothing but do as they are
told, even if the very nature of the task would violate their rights as
individuals.

QUALITIES MOTHERS HAVE TO POSSESS

Rizal enumerates the qualities Filipino mothers have to possess:


1. Be a noble wife.
2. Rear her children in the service of the state – here Rizal
gives reference to the women of Sparta who embody this
quality
3. Set standards of behavior for men around her.

“To the Women of Malolos” centers around five salient points (Zaide
&Zaide, 1999):
1. Filipino mothers should teach their children love of God,
country and fellowmen.
2. Filipino mothers should be glad and honored, like
Spartan mothers, to offer their sons in defense of their country.
3. Filipino women should know how to protect their dignity
and honor.
4. Filipino women should educate themselves aside from
retaining their good racial values.
5. Faith is not merely reciting prayers and wearing religious
pictures. It is living the real Christian way with good morals and
manners.
In recent times, it seems that these qualities are gradually lost in
the way Filipino women conduct themselves. There are
oftentimes moments where mothers forget their roles in rearing
their children because of the overriding idea of having to earn for
the family to supplement their husband’s income. Although there
is nothing negative about working hard for the welfare of the
family, there must always be balance in the way people go
through life. Failure in the home cannot be compensated for by
any amount of wealth
