NOLI ME TANGERE

ELIAS

Among all the characters featured in Dr. Jose Rizal's novel Noli Me
Tangere, I choose Elias because he represents the common Filipino who
is not only aware of the atrocities committed against his countrymen, but
also desires to free them from their oppressors. Elias was a courageous
and loyal man. His loyalty belongs to Crisostomo and to the country. In
his final moment he devoted his life in protecting Crisostomo as he
believed that Crisostomo was the Filipino people's only hope to escape
poverty.
