This novel tackles the secrets of religion that dulls the mind and the beliefs that paralyze the intellect. In characters like Carmen, Father Villamil, and Eladio, Faustino S. Aguilar exposes in the exciting events the metaphors of darkness and lightness, the rhetoric of money and power, as well as the images of adoration and unfaithfulness. More than this, it divulges the rousing concepts of the Katipunan by Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto, as explained by Roberto T. Añonuevo, Oragon critic, in a new and rare angle.
