summary of noli me tangere and el filibusterismo
I.A social gathering
On the month of October, Kapitan Tiago (whose whole name is Don Santiago de los Santos) is organizing a luxurious feast. It will be held in his home, which is located in the town of San Diego; more specifically, in Anloage Street.
The guests arrive that evening, greeted by Tiya Isabel, the cousin of Kapitan Tiago. Padre Damaso, Padre Salvi, Tenyente Guevarra (captain of the civil guard), and a foreigner with red hair from another country are some of the important guests that come to the gathering. There is a heated discussion amongst them regarding the ethics of the Filipino culture, Tobacco monopoly, and the Spaniards' harsh insults against the Filipinos. It was also revealed that Padre Damaso has been serving as a priest of San Diego for 20 years. Tenyente Guevarra and Padre Damaso gets into an argument, and Padre Salvi has to calm his fellow priest. Some other prominent figures arrive, such as Don Tiburcio and his wife, Donya Victorina.
II. Crisostomo Ibarra
Capitan Tiago enters the sala and introduces Juan Crisostomo Ibarra y Magsalin to the guests. Crisostomo, he informs them, is the only son of the late Don Rafael Ibarra, and he has recently arrived from his studies in Europe. Crisostomo is puzzled when Padre Damaso, whom he thought was a friend of his father, arrogantly denies that he was ever a friend of Don Rafael Ibarra.
III.The dinner
Everyone heads to the lunch table to seat themselves. Padre Damaso and Sibyla offer each other the head seat by the end of the table with fake kindness.
Ibarra tells stories of his time spent abroad, where he reveals that he has been to many countries and has learned a lot of other languages and cultures. Ibarra realizes the feast was prepared in his honor when he is served the meatiest part of the tinola (A well-known Filipino dish). This enrages Padre Damaso even more, and the padre starts to taunt Ibarra with his haughty and bitter comments. Ibarra simply remains calm. A while later,
