Jose Rizal’s My Last Farewell: Unconditional Love For Country

Jose Rizal’s “My Last Farewell” is a poem about his love for the country and our countrymen, especially to his family, friends and love ones. As he wanted to honor his homeland, the pre-hispanic Philippines. For which he was giving his life, he also used the poem to say goodbye to his family, friends and love ones.

       Rizal’s description of his fatherland, he used biblical Eden to describe the pre-hispanic Philippines which is purity and innocence. He glad to give his life to our country even though his life was brighter fusher and blest.

Rizal said that their dedication and patriotism to the country is without second thought.

The first and second stanza speaks of Rizal’s love of liberty. It signifies the liberation that he adores and it lacks his blood for the country’s freedom.

        Rizal did not say that he wants monuments, street, school in his name. Only just a found kiss and warm breath so that he could feel the success of his sacrifices and love to our Filipino nation.
