    Summary: The wealthy meztizo, like his father Don


    Rafael endeavors for reform primarily in the
    area of education in order to eliminate
    poverty and improve the lives of his
    countrymen. Upon learning about his father’s
    demise and the denial of a Catholic burial for
    his father Ibarra was provoked to hit Padre
    Damaso which eventually lead to his
    excommunication. The excommunication
    was later rescinded upon the intervention of
    the Governor General. Padre Salvi, Ibarra’s
    mortal enemy accused Ibarra of insurrection.
    Ibarra’s letter to his beloved Maria Clara was
    used against him. Later in the story, Maria
    Clara will tell Ibarra that she did not conspire
    to indict him. She was compelled to give
    Ibarra’s letter in exchange for the letters of
    her mother before she was born. Maria Clara
    found out that the letters of her mother were
    addressed to Padre Damaso about their
    unborn child which means that she is the
    biological daughter of the priest and not of
    her father, Capitan Tiago. Meanwhile, Ibarra
    was able to escape the prison with Elias, who
    also experienced injustice with the
    authorities. Ibarra was able to speak with
    Maria Clara about the letters and thereafter
    forgave her. Ibarra and Elias flee to the lake
    and were chased by the Guardia Civil. One
    was shot and the other survives. Upon
    hearing the news, Maria Clara believed that
    Ibarra was dead; she entered the nunnery
    instead of marrying Alfonso Linares. The
    fatally wounded Elias found the child Basilio
    and his dead mother Sisa. The latter was
    driven to insanity when she learned that her
    children were implicated for theft by the
    sacristan mayor. Elias instructed Basilio to
    dig for his and Sisa’s graves and there is a
    buried treasure which he can use for his
    education. Noli Me Tangere brilliantly
    described Philippine society with its
    memorable characters. The melancholic fate
    of Maria Clara and the insanity of Sisa
    characterized the country’s pitiful state,
    which was once beautiful, turned miserable.
    Reading Noli Me Tangere will open one’s
    mind about oppression and tyranny.
