'Noli Me Tangere, El Filibusterismo Essay\r'

'Both novels, the Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) and the El Filibusterismo, (The Filibuster) inspired by the patriotic ideals of national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, depict the abuses suffered by the native indios at the hands of Spanish tyrants. The Noli paints us an ugly, yet clear point of the so-called â€Å"social cancer” that deteriorates the society. The number one of those two masterfully-crafted works, the Noli lays the most liberal, realistic and unfrightened view of the country’s benefit during the 300-year Spanish regime.\r\nIt illustrates the rotten system of governance, the extracurricular ways of the church and the unfavorable spate of the perk class. The Noli also relates how the government, the church and the privilege class pieceipulate the people. The government deprives the juvenility of education and how they use the people’s ignorance to their advantage. The treacherous friars by means of idol and faith controlled the people, making them dummies of all sorts. On the other hand, the privilege class utilize their elite status to get in front of everybody, by hook or by crook †employing the â€Å"me first” attitude.\r\nIn the Noli, the bleached and disposed seemingly lose consent resulting to unfortunate deaths (as the elusion Pilisopo Tasyo) and sometimes insanity. (as the case of Sisa) Hence the oppressed formed a brotherhood that hopes to liberate the country by use of force. To no avail, due to disarrangement and lack of arms, each and every set out at resistance failed. In Noli, the section of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra was introduced, an intelligent and promising young man who has high hopes of changing the course of the country.\r\n'
