• In the preface of his novel Rizal
promises “to reproduce the condition
(of the country) faithfully, without
discrimination”. He wants to sacrifice
“to truth everything”.

• Rizal wrote in his dedication page in
the Noli me tángere, “I will strive to
reproduce thy condition faithfully,
without discriminations; I will raise a
part of the veil that covers the evil…”
• He clearly stated his intention of
giving an accurate picture of the
conditions in the Philippines at the
time, and this gives the reader a
good idea what the main theme

Theme as an element of fiction is the
idea that runs through the whole novel,
repeated again and again in various forms
and ways.

 The theme of ‘Noli me Tangere’ comes from the
Gospel of John. John tells that when Jesus
showed himself after the Resurrection, it was
first to Mary Magdalene.
 Jesus called her and she turned round and saw
him. But Jesus did not want her to touch him.
He said literally to her, “Do not cling to me,
because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
 But go to the brothers and tell them: I am
ascending to my father and your Father, my God
and your God.”
