“what is a man to do when he is denied justice, take the law into his hands or wait for the Spain to give him his rights?”
*the whole point of the novel
Fili
Fili = Reluctant Revolutionary,
Fili = Reluctant
Revolutionary, how?
No solution except
independence;
“bloody apparitions” a succes of
a revolution may hinge.
BUT... Try to remember this
failures of Simon
- Maria Clara’s death (personal
demoralisation)
- Isagani’s intervention (to stop the
bomb) to save the unfaithful Paulita
In real life...Rizal’s life
*Novales’s Coup
- his own brother refused to
surrender it.
*1872 Mutiny
- fireworks (fall alarm = death)
“I do not mean to say, that our
freedom must be won at the point
of the sword . . .but I do say that
we must win our freedom by
deserving it”
-Father Florentino
(while Simon lies dying)
Not yet ready for revolution; not yet
ready for independence
...because they are still
unworthy of it...
-Rizal
The Reluctant Revolutionary
JOSE P. RIZAL
...a reformer who no longer believed that
reforms would come...
...shunned by his supporters in
Manila...
...mocked by his fellows in Madrid...
“The sun comes out again, for
all, all has been sacrificed and
nothing remains but ruins. Thanks
be to God! We have lost everything
and have nothing more to lose.
Now things must get better . . .”
-Rizal
