SUMMARY:
The death of Ibarra’s father, Don Rafael, prior to his homecoming,
and the refusal of a Catholic burial by Padre Damaso, the parish
priest, provokes Ibarra into hitting the priest, for which Ibarra is
excommunicated. The decree is rescinded, however, when the
governor general intervenes. The friar and his successor, Padre
Salvi, embody the rotten state of the clergy. Their tangled feelings—
one paternal, the other carnal—for Maria Clara, Ibarra’s sweetheart
and rich Capitan Tiago’s beautiful daughter, steel their
determination to spoil Ibarra’s plans for a school. The town
philosopher Tasio wryly notes similar past attempts have failed, and
his sage commentary makes clear that all colonial masters fear that
an enlightened people will throw off the yoke of oppression.
