Study Notes
Chapter 3 of "El Filibusterismo," titled "Legends," provides a glimpse into the superstitions held by characters aboard a steamer on its way up the Pasig River. The chapter opens with Padre Florentino narrating the story of Doña Jeronima, whose lover had forgotten her and eventually became an archbishop. He also mentions that she was placed in a cave near the Pasig River where she lived out her days. Simoun uses this opportunity to express his thoughts on the situation, suggesting that it would have been better for Doña Jeronima to have been sent to a convent instead. The conversation then shifts to Padre Salvi telling the story of a Chinese man who was saved from a cayman after praying to St. Nicholas. When Ben Zayb asks the captain about a specific location related to Ibarra's death, the group discusses the Legend of Wide Rock, which was previously revered due to the belief in spirits but later became known as a hideout for bandits.
