    Who was the hero of Noli me Tangere?

    Juan Crisostomo Ibarra y Magsalin , commonly called Ibarra, is


    Filipino-Spanish and the only descendant of the wealthy
    Spaniard Don Rafael Ibarra. He was born and grew up in the
    Philippines, but during his adolescence, spent seven years studying
    in Europe.

    Ibarra was an earnest and idealistic young man. Influenced by his


    European education, he sought to improve the country; as part of
    this, he believed in the power of education to enact reforms and made
    efforts to establish a school in San Diego to this end.

    What kind of a person was he?


    A wealthy young man of mixed Spanish and Filipino ancestry who has
    recently returned to the Philippines from Europe after spending
    seven years studying abroad. Ibarra is cultured and well-respected,
    though the friars in his hometown of San Diego are suspicious of him
    Crisostomo Ibarra exemplified the vision that Jose Rizal had aimed
    for the youth of the Philippines during his time. Others
    attribute Ibarra as Rizal's reflection of himself.

    Why was Rizal's hero a creole?


    Creole

    noun. a person born in the West Indies or Spanish America but of


    European, usually Spanish, ancestry. a person born in Louisiana but of
    usually French ancestry. (sometimes lowercase) a person of mixed
    Black and European, especially French or Spanish, ancestry who
    speaks a creolized form of French or Spanish.

    During Rizal's youth, it looked as if what happened in America would


    happen in the Philippines: the Creoles were restive, were rising, were
    apparently headed for an open clash with the Peninsulars. So,
    when Rizal wrote his novels, he was writing about an actual
    movement, and writing to animate it.

    The article why was Rizal Hero a Creole explained used the character


    of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra aka Simoun, a Creole, as his hero in his
    novels Noli Mi Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Rizal himself was also
    a Creole of Spanish, Native and Chinese descent.
