Later, he went to Europe for university education and attended the Universidad Central de Madrid, the Université de Paris, and the Universität Heidelberg. Rizal also studied at the University of Santo Tomás in Manila, which the novel’s students attend. He exhibited intellectual and artistic talents as a youth and attended the Ateneo Municipal in Manila, which appears in the novel. His full name was José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. Rizal came from a relatively wealthy family with mestizo origins (being of Spanish and Indigenous heritage), much like Ibarra. The novel’s setting and characters are influenced by Rizal’s life. ![]()
