1) From the various scenes and descriptions of the Spanish friars such as Camorra, Salví, Sibyla, Irene et al., what can we deduce about their position in the colonial hierarchy? How do they view the locals or indios? What can we infer about Rizal's own views on the friars?
2. In contrast, Father Florentino is a secular priest, an indio, and Rizal's portrait of him is very different from that of the Spanish friars. Discuss some of these differences, and what might have been Rizal's intent in positing such differences.
3. Discuss Cabesang Tales's decline from successful farmer and upright town official to a vengeful outlaw. Why does he resort to the use of arms? What can we deduce about the state of land distribution and ownership in the islands during the Spanish colonial period?
