A NOVELIST’S DIAGNOSIS

FRIARS’ OBSCURANTISM – OPPOSITION TO HUMAN PROGRESS AND ENLIGHTENMENT
POLITICAL MESSAGE
AS LONG AS THE FRIARS ARE IN THE PHILIPPINES
NO PROGRESS
NO JUSTICE
NO REFORMS ARE POSSIBLE
HE WOULD WRITE A SPOLIARIUM
NOLI CONTAINS 63 CHAPTERS, WHILE THE FILI CONTAINS 38
RIZAL DEDICATED HIS NOLI TO HIS MOTHERLAND, WHILE THE FILI WAS DEDICATED TO
GOM-BUR-ZA
DR. MAXIMO VIOLA – SAVIOR FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE NOLI
VALENTIN VENTURA – SAVIOR FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE FILI
NOLI IS A SOCIO-HISTORICAL NOVEL, WHILE THE FILI IS A POLITICAL NOVEL
THE NOLI IS A NOVEL OF FEELING, FULL OF SATIRES, COLOR AND FANTASY WHILE THE
FILI A NOVEL OF THOUGHT
THE NOLI IS A WORK OF THE HEART WHILE THE FILI IS A WORK OF THE MIND
IF THE NOLI SERVES AS DIAGNOSIS OF RIZAL’S SICK PATIENT, THE FILI WAS PRESENTED
AS A MEDICINE (REVOLUTION)
JOSE ALEJANDRO – THE PRICE OF FREEDOM
NECESSARY QUALITIES IN A MAN WHO MAY LEAD A SUCCESSFUL REVOLUTION
-PATRIOTIC
-SELF-DENYING
-DISINTERESTED
-WITH NOBLE CHARACTER
SIMOUN IS AN EGOIST WHO DECIDED TO PROVOKE A REVOLUTION WHEN HE WAS HURT
IN HIS PERSON, LOVE AND ALL OTHERS THINGS HE HELD SACRED. WITH MEN LIKE
SIMOUN, SUCCESS CAN NEVER BE EXPECTED IN THEIR UNDERTAKING.
