Formalistic Criticism of
Noli Me Tangere
C. Symbols

ending of the novel
The Cancer = Too dangerous to talk about. The title
alludes to a cancer that is so deadly and powerful that no
one dares to touch
Maria Clara = Philippines. She symbolizes the country,
typically too passive to rebel but will stand up on her own in
the end
Formalistic Criticism
of Noli Me Tangere
D. Figurative Language
Simile
“The news surged like a jolt of electricity among the parasites,
spongers, and freeloaders that God, in his infinite goodness,
has so lovingly multiplied in Manila.” (p. 5)
“Like a automaton with a broken motor, Sisa turned quickly
on her heels, and without seeing a thing, ran to hide.” (p. 131)
Metaphor
“Once misfortune leaves its mark on a family, all its members
have to perish. When a lightning strikes a tree, the entire
thing is reduced to ashes.” (p. 274)
Formalistic Criticism
of Noli Me Tangere
D. Figurative Language
Irony
- Captain Tiago being at peace with God (situational irony)
- Readers will conclude that he is a churchgoing man when
in reality, he exposes his wealth too much and actually
pays for others to pray for him.
Christmas Eve
Rizal richly describes the images of the lights and decorations
in detail during Christmas Eve.
D. Figurative Language
Imagery
Maria Clara
- Ibarra describes Maria Clara in exaggerated, almost
humorously vivid language, comparing her to a fairy or spirit
and calling her “the poetic embodiment of my homeland.”
b. Class struggle
Conflict ranges between the ruling class and the
working class
Friars became the main oppressors in the novel
Friars control everything by their own interest.
Marxist Criticism
of Noli Me Tangere
d. Internationalism
“Workers of the world unite!”
In the novel, Ibarra addresses that revolution
should be just an alternative if reform is
impossible.
