The document discusses Jose Rizal's first return to the Philippines in 1887 after studying in Europe, where he practiced medicine and encountered controversy over his novel Noli Me Tangere. While the Governor-General was initially not troubled by the book, powerful Spanish clergy condemned it as heretical, impious, scandalous, anti-patriotic, and subversive, putting Rizal at risk of retaliation from colonial authorities. Rizal's return also saw him treat patients successfully as a doctor while generating income, but he faced growing conflict over the impact and interpretation of his writings.
The document provides summaries of Rizal's two novels, Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Noli Me Tangere tells the story of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra, who returns to the Philippines after studying abroad. He faces oppression from friars and is falsely accused of instigating an uprising. El Filibusterismo follows the character of Simoun, revealed to be Ibarra in disguise, as he plots to foment a revolution against Spanish rule through corruption and oppression. While the novels depict the injustices of Spanish colonial rule, scholars debate whether Rizal ultimately supported revolution or reform as the means for change.
