Noli Me Tangere (translated as "Touch Me Not") is a novel by Filipino author and national hero Jose Rizal, written in Spanish and published in 1887, which details the situation of the Philippines during the last part of Spanish rule.Juan Crisostomo Ibarra, the son of a wealthy mestizo landlord, has returned to the Spanish-controlled Philippines after seven years of studying in Europe. After realizing not much has changed thanks to The Government and learning that his wealthy father died in jail for being labeled a heretic, he is understandably upset.Nevertheless, revenge on the person who got his father that fate is not in Ibarra's plans, and all he wants to do is to settle down with his beautiful childhood fiancee Maria Clara and to finance a schoolhouse for the less fortunate with his father's money. Unfortunately, things most definitely do not work out as planned, and a rant-inducing slight at the opening luncheon for the aforementioned school sets in motion a chain of events that will change Ibarra, and subsequently the country, forever.Noli Me Tangere was wildly controversial and wildly game-changing at the time of its release; it was actually banned in several parts of the country due to its portrayal of priests as dirty old men, the church as corrupt, and the government as just as corrupt, abusive, and indifferent. It turns out, however, that banning it only served the purpose of making even more wildly popular among the Filipinos, and the book managed to unify the Filipino Nationalist consciousness and indirectly spark the Katipunan revolution, as several of its head honchos were inspired by the thoughts and messages in it. Meanwhile, Rizal himself was imprisoned for his writings containing subversive content, and was later executed at the age of thirty-five. Afterwards, the Rizal Law made studying this novel mandatory for all Philippine schools as part of their study on Filipino literature.It was originally written in Spanish, which the vast majority of Filipinos today don't know. It has been translated to English and Filipino several times, with the first English version appearing in 1900 and an all-new Penguin Classics version in 2006. It has also been adapted for live-action a number of times, most famously as a 1961 black-and-white epic made for Rizal's birth centennial.It has a sequel, El Filibusterismo, which is set thirteen years later.In 2022, GMA Network began airing Maria Clara at Ibarra, which adapts this novel with a twist.Not to be confused with the Boys' Love Eroge of the same name. | |

| Noli Me Tangere / int_1e679bd0 | comment |
The Quisling: Doña Victorina, who also doubles as a Small Name, Big Ego. This applies to a lot of rich Filipinos as well, such as Capitan Tiago, renouncing their heritage out of a belief that it makes them superior. It doesn't really work because his Spanish associates frequently ridicule him behind their back. | |

Misaimed Fandom | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_233d181 | comment |
Misaimed Fandom: In-universe. The Christians believe that you can buy your way into heaven with indulgences, which automatically place the poor at a disadvantage. The chapter Souls in Torment is even dedicated to pious women calculating how much they spend in indulgences and how many years they have shaved off in purgatory. The bible famously said that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man the enter the kingdom of God. Everyone also seems to believe that faith simply refers to belief rather than good actions in addition to belief. The narrator laments the irony.note Not coincidentally, this very same criticism has been the rallying cry of reformist priests since The Renaissance—culminating with The Protestant Reformation. This, among many other things, is what labeled Rizal a heretic. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: The title is Latin for "Do not touch me" or more poetically "Touch me not" from the Gospel of John. In the original Greek, it's more like "Stop holding on to me" or "Let go of me". Originally said by Jesus to Mary Magdalene, it's repurposed as a message from Filipinos to Spain, whether on the personal level or national is up for debate. Another level of allusion is obscured today because Science Marches On, though it's all but spelled out by the author himself in his introduction to the novel: Noli me tangere was once used to refer to a disease affecting the skin and eyelids, then identified as a skin cancer but today recognized as a manifestation of the autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus. It causes painful ulcers and lesions that are easily aggravated, hence "touch me not". Rizal probably would have known this since he practiced medicine (he was trained in ophthalmology). In his introduction to the novel, he likens this kind of malignant, painful and easily aggravated "cancer" to the country's ills - a "social cancer". He only stops short of saying that this kind of "cancer" itself is called noli me tangere. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: There is The Meeting in the Town Hall, where the liberal and conservative parties have to decide what to do for the fiesta. The head of the liberal party, Don Filipo, knows that the conservatives don't hate their ideas. They just hate their opponents. His plan is to suggest what the conservatives want in such an obnoxious manner that they will immediately agree with the more rational idea, even if just to spite him. A more respectable person from his party will then give their actual suggestion. This works exactly as intended until the gobernadorcillo mentions that the curate wants something else entirely. Everyone agrees because none of them want to be arrested. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_424c9a9b | comment |
Cold-Blooded Torture: Tarsilo endures this at the hands of the Alferez and Doña Consolacion. First he's whipped for a number of times, beaten, and then he gets repeatedly dunked upside down to a filled well used as a dumping ground for trash and the like. He dies from his injuries later, all the while remaining defiant against his tormentors. While this scene was already tragic in itself, his sister watching him being tortured to death while being unable to do anything makes it even sadder. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Elias is implied also to harbor some Ship Tease with Maria Clara—but lets her and Ibarra be together. On the other hand, he actually has a woman who's pining for him, Salome (in a disposed-of chapter)—who he gently advises to move on from him due to the risks of being with him. | |

Hourglass Plot | |

Hourglass Plot: Invoked and discussed by the characters themselves. Crisostomo Ibarra, a moderate social reformer, seems repelled by Elias's ideas (coming as they are from a social "inferior"). Later on, as Ibarra was imprisoned and disgraced, only escaping with the help of Elias, eventually turns around and seeks to go even further than Elias's radical methods, horrifying the man himself and trying to dissuade him. | |

Big Brother Instinct | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: Brothers Bruno and Tarsilo for their unnamed sister after their father was killed via whipping. It's the reason why they're desperately gambling for money in the cockpit during their introduction. It's also the reason why they decided to join Lucas's revolution, thinking that they'll earn enough money for their sister to live on, though it's also partly to avenge their deceased father. | |

Persecuted Intellectuals: Intellectualism in the Philippines was a big no-no in the era the book is set in to prevent the Indiosnote "Indians" a term used to define native Filipinos at the time from escaping their ignorance and therefore keeping the Spanish authorities, or specifically the friars, in power and control of the population; this was exemplified during Fray Damaso's sermon where he condemns local youths like Ibarra for going abroad to study and when Tacio's books were burned at the end by authorities who deemed them heretical. This was also true in Real Life during Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Padre Damaso was reassigned in a remote parish church by his Father Provincial, which he did not take too well, and was discovered dead at his bed. Padre Salvi resigned his post as the parish priest of San Diego and became a chaplain at the Santa Clara Nunnery. Capitan Tiago, despondent over her daughter's decision to enter the convent, sank into a deep depression and began to frequent an opium den in Binondo. Doña Victorina found a new hobby other than wearing her artificial hair ringlets and pretending to speak in a fake Andalucian accent: driving their horse-drawn carriage around town. She also has taken to wearing a pince-nez due to deteriorating vision. Her husband remained as henpecked as ever, and the regular abuse he receives from his wife even worsened as no patient ever solicited his medical "expertise" anymore. Linares, Maria Clara's suitor after Ibarra, died of dysentery and was interred at the Paco Cemetery. The Alferez was promoted to Lieutenant-Commander, and decided to return to Spain, leaving his mistress behind who was now taken to excessive drinking and smoking. And finally, Maria Clara professed her vows and entered the Santa Clara Abbey, where Padre Salvi regularly rapes her to sate his carnal desires. One evening in a stormy night, two civil guards saw her on the roof of the cloister, raging against the heavens, and thinking that she was a ghostly apparition, immediately reported the incident to the authorities. However, a government inquiry about her fate was duly stopped by the Abbess, citing the rules of the convent about outsiders, and nothing was ever heard of from Maria Clara ever again. | |

Science Marches On | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_c309f9d1 | comment |
Another level of allusion is obscured today because Science Marches On, though it's all but spelled out by the author himself in his introduction to the novel: Noli me tangere was once used to refer to a disease affecting the skin and eyelids, then identified as a skin cancer but today recognized as a manifestation of the autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus. It causes painful ulcers and lesions that are easily aggravated, hence "touch me not". Rizal probably would have known this since he practiced medicine (he was trained in ophthalmology). In his introduction to the novel, he likens this kind of malignant, painful and easily aggravated "cancer" to the country's ills - a "social cancer". He only stops short of saying that this kind of "cancer" itself is called noli me tangere. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Various characters. An example would be the boatman Ibarra saves from a crocodile during the lake trip who turns out to be Elias, and the lady whose gown Lieutenant Guevarra steps on in the 1st chapter turns out to be Doña Victorina 42 chapters later. | |

Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_e0e8cce6 | comment |
Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: Tasio and Elias admire Ibarra's sense of justice and honorable goals, but both point out that his faith in the Institution, the Government and the Church is flawed. Elias thinks Ibarra believes this because he has never faced true persecution. Which will change in the next few chapters. | |

Antiquated Linguistics | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_e1721fd1 | comment |
Antiquated Linguistics: Thanks to the time period and the era the novel was written in, nearly all the characters speak in straight, formal Spanish. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility | |
| Noli Me Tangere / int_f4f3252e | comment |
Law of Inverse Fertility: Capitan Tiago and his wife Pia (Maria Clara's mother) badly wanted a child and attended all sorts of rituals and congregations to be able to conceive, despite being unable to for many years. Subverted, since in the end they do get their daughter and end up with Maria Clara. Double subverted as it turns out Maria Clara is a child born of rape, and that her real father is Father Damaso (Capitan Tiago was infertile). | |

Department of Redundancy Department: Doña Victorina de los Reyes is the wife of Dr. (or Don) Tiburcio de Espadaña and would normally have been called Doña Victorina de Espadaña upon adopting her husband's surname, but she insists on "de los Reyes de de Espadaña" to appear extra posh (de means "of"). | |
