Symbolism in the Cover design of Rizal's Noli Me Tangere

  1. A Filipina silhouette: Possibly Maria Clara or the "Inang Bayan" to whom Rizal dictates the novel.
  2. Cross/Crucifix: Symbolizes the Catholic faith as it ascends above Inang Bayan and Filipinos (shows dominance). It also represents pain and death.
  3. Laurel Leaves & Pomelo Blossoms: They represent faith, honor, and fidelity, which are the values Rizal wishes Filipinos to embody. Pomelos are commonly used to scent the air during prayers and cleansing rituals. Laurel leaves are used as crowns during the Greek Olympics to honor the best athletes.
  4. Torch on Fire: It is a reference to the Olympic torch. It is concerned with the awakening of Filipino consciousness. It also sheds light on the manuscript's text.
  5. Sunflower: It represents a new beginning. It is compared to happiness, which appears to be constantly bowing down
  6. Feet: It represents the friars' power. It is placed at the base of the triangle (foundation) because the Filipinos cannot stand on their own without the friars.
  7. Shoes: It symbolizes wealth. It is also the imprints of friars who taught Catholicism.
  8. Legs with Hair: It represents the Wolf Legend. The wolf shapeshifts, similar to how friars conceal their true nature and character.
  9. A Guardia Civil helmet: It represents the arrogance of those in positions of authority.
  10. Whip: It represents the novel's depicted abuses and cruelties committed by Spaniards and friars.
  11. The flogs (Suplina): It is employed in self-flagellation. Like the whip, this represents the Guardia Civil's atrocities.
  12. Chain: It represents slavery and imprisonment.
  13. Signature of Rizal: It demonstrates that Rizal witnessed and experienced the ills and abuses that occurred during his time.
  14. Stalks of Bamboo: It symbolizes Filipino tenacity. Despite their hardships, Filipinos can still stand tall and firm.
