    Two gravediggers are digging a grave and complaining about the messy graveyard. The experienced gravedigger tells a story from his past where he was hired to transfer a well-known man's corpse to the Chinese cemetery. Instead, he threw the heavy corpse into the river. He then reveals that the man was Don Rafael and that Padre Damaso had ordered him to dispose of the body. This shows that Father Damaso has absurd power in San Diego and can demand anything. Rizal uses the gravediggers' conversation to show the reader the disrespect and cruelty towards Don Rafael's grave.

    Analysis

    Chapter 12: All Saints

    While digging the grave the other one complains how stinks and
    messy the graveyard was. To despise his co-digger experience, the other one
    whom I believe the expert gravedigger told his experienced about the time
    when he dig the corpse of a well-known man in the town to transfer it to the
    Chinese cemetery. Instead of transferring it to the Chinese cemetery he
    thrown it in the river because the corpse was very heavy.
    The expert gravedigger telling the whole story not aware that he
    revealed someone. The grave that he was referring to is Don Rafael’s grave
    and he revealed that it was Fr. Damaso (known as Padre Garote) who
    ordered him.
    In this chapter Rizal shows that Fr. Damaso is powerful in San Diego.
    He has an absurd power that can demand anything and can do anything.
    Also, Rizal conditioned the reader to detest the gruesome and cruel
    disrespect on the grave of Don Rafael through the exchange of the two
    gravedigger men which I mentioned above.
