SIMOUN'S CAPTURE
GROUP 5
Why did Ibarra become Simoun?
After the failed revenge, Simoun was revealed to be responsible and was searched by the
civil guards. He was shot by a civil guard during his escape and sought refuge at Father
Florentino's house. He revealed his identity to the priest and asked him why did his plot failed
even though he had good intentions to free the Filipinos from oppression and why God had
forsaken him.
Father Tolentino replied that his plan failed because he was driven by revenge and that God
did not forsaken him. Before his death, Simoun accepted Father Florentino's explanation and
realized his wrongdoings.
SYMBOLISM
Simoun represents the revolutionaries during
that time who supported the idea of holding
bloody revolt against the Spanish
government. His death in El Filibusterismo
tells readers that Rizal does not support the
armed revolution. The author has also made
this clear through the scene where Padre
Florentino, after Simoun’s death, threw his
remaining jewels to the Pacific Ocean so it
may no longer be used for bribery and
corruption that can spark a revolt.
Thank You!
