RIZAL THE REALIST AND BONIFACIO THE IDEALIST
The difference between Idealism and Realism is that Idealism considers what a situation can be as well as how it appears. It regards reality as a mental construct. Realism, on the other hand, looks into what a situation is like in real life. It investigates a situation's actual point of view. I believe Jose Rizal's writings "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" sparked Andres Bonifacio's revolt against the Spaniards. It only served as a wake-up call for Bonifacio and other heroes to seek vengeance and fight for human rights against the Spanish government's abuses. Each character's role revealed the reality of what was happening during the Spanish period. Though Rizal did not know Bonifacio well or was unfamiliar with him, the character of Elias was recognized by him. The majority of people thought Rizal orchestrated the revolution and Bonifacio carried it out. Rizal never advocated for rebellion at the time, instead expressing his feelings and observations through the books he wrote. He was a poet, a romantic, and a dreamer. A man of universal knowledge and comprehension. A man born with extraordinary qualities and circumstances, whereas Bonifacio was a commoner, raised in poverty with little education, whose only intellectual experience came from reading the history of the French Revolution, Dumas' El Conde de Montecristo, Rizal's Noli Me Tangere, and El Filibusterismo. Rizal carefully considered and researched the implications of any action he might take. In his writings, he expressed this very clearly through the characters in the Noli and Fili who voice his thoughts, such as Ibbara, Isagani, and Padre Florentino, and he demonstrated that belief in his own actions while still alive. Characters such as Elias and Simoun, as well as Cabesan Tales, who may be regarded as the model for the Huks in fleeing to the mountains of Luzon for economic reasons, or Capitang Pablo. The cries of the oppressed Filipinos could be heard by Bonifacio. Bonifacio, an idealist, was able to apply his knowledge by leading a historic revolution. With a tangible focus, his faith in Filipinos was so strong that the formally educated dismissed him as a fool. Bonifacio was aware of what Filipinos wanted at the time.
El Filibusterismo and Noli Me Tangere Were Regarded As One of The Tools That Sparked Filipino Nationalism in The Years Leading Up To The Philippine Revolution
