thinking about it, almost every character in El Fili share some parallels with a character in Noli Me MARIA CLARA Huli has to be like the most clear parallel, a beautiful maiden, who out of grief for a lover that's been persecuted/wronged by the state enters a convent where they meet their end. Paulita is another example, a beautiful maiden living a rich life, but instead of going in Huli's path of grief, eventually gets married, but not to the man she truly loved. IBARRA Basilio is the clearest parallel, they even have scenes with Simoun that contrast them together. Basilio fits the mold of an ambitious youth who dreams of changing the world, however when he is eventually wronged by the state/those-in-power, turns to a path of arms. adding more if I think of more parallels

Pls I need more Don Tiburcio lore. How tf did this man hide under the wings of Padre Florentino after running away from Donya Victorina 😭😭😭😭😭😭 like I really thought He was going to die after Noli I didn't expect Him to just be all "yoohoo" on the last chapters of El Fili 😭😭😭

YOOOO IS THAT MARIA CLARA AT IBARRA

—Klay, probably

A LITTLE BREAK FROM OC CONTENT!!!! I've been obsessed with this story recently, Klay is literally the character ever man I need a Klay in my life. I only listened to like 60% of my lectures for el noli but when I do recognize something that happens in the story I go like THAS THE THING!!!!

part of liking elibarra is acknowledging the uncomfortable truth that they would never work out in their universe. not just bc of the obvious real world implications but bc they simply clash too much. ibarra may try to look past that (as seen in him inviting elias to run away with him abroad) but elias knows its simply not possible. they are worlds apart.

ibarra has caused elias so much pain, even if he had no intention of doing so. he hurt him by being part of the eibarramendia family, by thriving at his family's expense. he hurts him by being dismissive of his pleads for reform, by siding with his oppressors, by chiding those who he deems below him- people that are just like elias, reduced to criminals. and he will hurt him again by being capable of change, by being someone worth saving. if ibarra continues down the path of violent retribution, he will hurt the many eliases of the country. elias knows this, and jumps off the boat anyway.

ibarra will hurt elias again and again and again. but elias will always choose to save him. because it's the right thing to do. because he has a real chance at sparking the revolution, even if their ideas of how it should happen differ massively. because unlike elias, ibarra was not made to suffer.

what im saying is jose rizal was a pioneer of toxic doomed yaoi

can anyone who has watched Maria Clara at Ibarra give me a main plot summary as to what it actually is?

I'm mainly interested because I saw a clip of Simoun killing both Padre Salvi and Padre Damaso. I'm interested to see how the series deviates from the actual novels, since I've seen people recommending it as a way to teach students about Noli Me Tangere.

Update: Same student is now deeply affected by the book

You guys can actually see my lifeless sad eyes the more I read actually 👺👺
