In rizal novel, noli me tangere who is pia alba, sisa, padre salvi and pilosopo tasyo in real life ?
Answer:
Crisostomo Ibarra
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. Those years prevented him from knowing what was happening in his country. When he returned to the Philippines, he found his father had died and the corpse was (supposedly) moved to a Chinese cemetery (but the body ended up in a river). He heard tales of how helpful and kind his father had been and decided to honor the memory of his father by doing as his father did.
María Clara
María Clara de Los Santos y Alba
, is the most dominant yet weakest representation of women in the setting. When thinking of Noli, the name of María Clara can be seen predominantly as the image of the ideal Filipino woman. María Clara is the primary female character in the novel. She is the daughter of Capitán Tiago and Doña Pía Alba. Doña Pía died while delivering Maria Clara. The poor child grew under the guidance and supervision of Tíya Isabél, Capitán Tiago’s cousin.
María Clara is known to be Ibarra’s lover since childhood. When Ibarra was away in Europe, Capitán Tiago sent Maria Clara to the Beaterio de Santa Clara where she developed into a lovely woman under the strict guidance of the religious nuns.
Later in the novel, María Clara discovers that her biological father is not Capitán Tiago, but San Diego’s former curate and her godfather Padre Dámaso. After hearing about Ibarra’s death, she persuaded Padre Damaso to let her be endorsed into a nunnery. Padre Damaso wouldn’t let her at first but finally relented for fear that Maria Clara might take her own life. She remained in the nunnery and died before Ibarra (Simoun in El Fili) could rescue her.
Although raised as the daughter of Captain Santiago “Kapitán Tiyago” de Los Santos and his wife Doña Pía Alba, who are both native Filipinos, María Clara is revealed to have been the illegitimate daughter of Padre Dámaso, a Spanish friar, who coerced Doña Pía into illicit sexual relations.
Appears in the book: Noli Me Tángere
Parents: Padre Dámaso
Padre Dámaso
Dámaso Verdolagas
(commonly known as Padre Damaso or Father Damaso), of Franciscan order, was the former curate of the parish church of San Diego. He was the curate for almost twenty years before he was replaced by the much younger Padre Salvi. Padre Damaso was known to be friendly with the Ibarra family, so much that Crisóstomo was surprised by what the former curate had done to Don Rafaél.
Padre Dámaso is described to be a snobbish, ruthless and judgemental extrovert. He does not control his words when speaking and does not care if the person he is talking to will feel embarrassed or remorseful. He always berates or criticizes other people around him– especially Ibarra. Enraged, Ibarra once almost stabbed the priest after he embarrassed him in front of the people in the sacristy. This made everyone think that he was slain before Ibarra was being issued for arrest.
There are also issues that he and Donya Pia had a relationship and also revealed that he is the biological father of Maria Clara.
