II. Noli and colonial society
1. Complete the table below by identifying what the major characters in Noli Me Tangere symbolize in relation to colonial
Philippine society.
Character Symbolism
Crisostomo Ibarra It was believed that Ibarra is a representation of Rizal himself. Apart from that, he
represents Jose Rizal's ideal for the Philippines' youth: an educated and patriotic
Filipino youth who would become the nation's hope.
Maria Clara During the Spanish era, Maria Clara represents the purity and innocence of a
native woman. Maria Clara represents the meek Filipinos who, despite plainly
recognizing its defects, are hesitant to revolt against the culture in which they
were raised. But, like the Filipinos, Mara Clara gained the strength to speak up as
time passed. As the Philippines moved closer to insurrection and conflict, Rizal
predicted a transformation in his people. In addition, she has little regard for the
financial items lavished upon her by admirers and relatives, but she holds her
parents' reputation and the commitment she made to her sweetheart in high
regard.
Capitan Tiago During Jose Rizal's time, Capitan Tiago was a typical figure. He is a wealthy native
Filipino who mingled with the ruling class at the time. Capitan Tiago represents the
wealthy, greedy, and self-centered Filipinos who mistreat their fellow citizens in
exchange for power and wealth.
Padre Damaso Padre Damaso portrays Rizal's time's Spanish friars and government's joint
brutality, lechery, and futility.
Sisa Sisa stands for the motherland, which was in trouble. Moreover, the tragic events
that devastated Sisa's life signify colonists' abuses of the country and its people.
Pilosopo Tasio Pilosopo Tasio embodies the clever people who never left the country to further
their education. He represents Filipinos who formerly supported the Spanish
regime but afterwards saw the grave injustices and biases that countrymen faced
as a result of their continued search of knowledge.
Doña Victorina The people's colonial attitude is symbolized by Doña Victorina. She embodies the
mistaken notion that everything native is inferior and everything alien is superior.
Basilio Basilio portrays the indifference and apathy of young educated Filipinos toward
society's concerns.
