Then let them bite. I will still be a poet. And you, Simoun – you have become the very tyrant you swore to destroy. El Filibusterismo Kabanata 21-30 Script

Shows a vulnerable side when he confides to Basilio. | Martyr‑like death , but his legacy remains morally ambiguous. | | Crisóstomo | A young idealist ; loosely based on Ibarra . | Forced to confront the limits of pacifism; his testimony at the trial shows a newfound political consciousness. | Disillusioned but retains hope for peaceful reform. | | Basilio | The orphaned son from Noli who becomes a teacher . | Turns into a double agent , acting as the “tiktik.” His act of killing Don Tiburcio signals a moral descent. | Struggles with guilt; ends as a troubled conscience of the revolution. | | Padre Salvi | The manipulative friar who once seduced Maria Clara . | Attempts self‑preservation through bargaining, exposing his hypocrisy. | Survives the climax, representing the endurance of clerical power . | | Don Mendoza | A wealthy mestizo aligned with the Spanish elite. | Becomes a victim of the explosion, symbolizing the elite’s vulnerability. | Death illustrates that the revolt spares no social class. | (Estudyante 2) Opo, ako rin
However, I need to clarify a few things: I will still be a poet
(Estudyante 2) Opo, ako rin. Wala akong sapat na pera para sa mga libro at mga gamit.
PADRE FLORENTINO: You have failed because you did not have faith in the people. You wanted to force them to be free, but freedom cannot be forced. It must be earned. SIMOUN (dying): I was wrong... the country will continue to suffer... but perhaps, my death will serve as a warning... PADRE FLORENTINO: Peace, my son. God has forgiven you. Now, let your sins be buried in the depths of the sea.
Basilio: (mga ngiti) Walang anuman, kaibigan.
