    1. What do the characters Ibarra and Elías represent in the

    novel?

    The two characters represent Rizal’s two-opposing

    means that he wishes to analyze. The first one is socio-

    political change brought by the legal means and civilized

    discourse by the wealthy, liberally educated young man raised

    to question civil authority but not cause social discord whom is

    Crisostomo Ibarra. The second is socio-political change

    brought about abruptly by force and, quite possibly,

    bloodshed, as embodied by Elías, the vagabond revolutionary

    seeking to recruit the disenfranchised to his cause.

    2. Is Tasio a figure to be admired? Why or why not? 


    Yes, Tasio lives unconcerned by what others think of him and is an

    independent thinker, which is clearly one of his most admirable traits.

    Both of them are considered as the villain in the Novel. The difference is that

    Father Damaso appeared to be open with his villainous acts which is primarily

    opposing the Ibarras, on the second hand, Father Salvi, as new chapter unfolds, he

    appeared to be even more evil due to his lustful act on Maria Clara.

    4. What does the novel say about revenge? 

    Based on the novel, revenge is a deadly thing to execute. The different

    characters showed various pursuit when it comes to revenge, but, Elias being the

    temptation and diverted his focus to other things.

    5. What does the character of Captain Tiago say about colonialism?

    away from the oppression. But education helped him realize and see the fault

    and lapses in the Philippine society, from school systems to the upper.

    8. Why does Sisa die at the end of the novel? 

    Sisa dies due to shock, she had a trauma that was too much for her to

    bear. She’s probably overwhelmed by happenings in her situation.

    9. What is the "cancer" that the title alludes to? 

    The cancer being referred to in the novel is the corruption of the catholic

    church during the Spanish empire. The priests namely Father Damaso and

    Father Salvi illustrates corruption in the novel.
