“Paint my picture truly like me, and not flatter me at all, but remark all these
roughnesses, pimples, warts, and everything as you see me.”
- Oliver Cromwell
GuERRERO’S RIZAL- Rizal is "the very embodiment of the
intelligentsia and the petite bourgeoisie“.- Rizal's father became one of the town's wealthiest men, the first to build a stone
house and buy another, keep a carriage, own a library, and send his children
to school in Manila.
Rizal’s family properties
- Even if born in penury and a peasant, he would still have made a mark.
"His character, in a different environment, with a different experience of the world, might
have made him another Bonifacio.“-Guerrero
A RELUCTANT REVOLUTIONARY
“Assimilation' has been rejected as a vain hope. 'Separatism,' or in plainer words, independence, has been advocated
almost openly. Rizal in the Fili is no longer the loyal reformer; he is the 'subversive' separatist, making so little effort of
concealment that he arrogantly announces his purpose in the very title of his novel,
which means 'subversion.' No solution except independence!”
-Guerrero
But on the latter part of the novel, he withdraws what his purpose is.
Father Florentino is made to deny in the final apostrophe of the novel that freedom must
be won at the point of the sword: "What is the use of independence if the slaves of
today will be the tyrants of tomorrow?"
"There can be no argument that he was against Bonifacio's Revolution. Not only had
he offered his 'unconditional' services to help suppress it but he had indicted a
manifesto condemning the Revolution." He called the idea of revolution "highly
absurd”.”
-Guerrero
- For Guerrero, Rizal was the first Filipino who fought for the Philippines, proclaiming that
he was and is a Filipino.- But for Joaquin, the other local heroes, those
who are before Rizal rose up, already fought as a Filipinos for the benefit of the whole
archipelago.
"To be human is to feel inferior and to aspire to situations of superiority."
- Alfred Adler
RADAIC’S RIZALRizal is "a mystery still to be revealed”.Suspects that Rizal suffered from complexes of
inferiority.
"While gazing at pictures of that giant of small and delicate body, many Filipinos must have felt as I did when I first came to know about him, a few years ago, in Europe -- that behind the well-buttoned frock coat was hidden a deep and delicate human problem." - Radaic
“You can laugh and
make fun of me, but
someday people will
keep statues of me.”
-Rizal
- He experienced being bullied in the school due to his frail body yet he continued to rise over those blues.
- Rizal never saw his weakness as a hindrance to what he wanted to achieved.
“Filipinos don't realize that victory is the child of struggle, that joy blossoms from suffering, and redemption is a product of
sacrifice.”-Jose Rizal
