• Structure: The novel is organized into chapters that progress through scenes in Manila and abroad, blending episodic vignettes with a central plot centered on Simoun’s conspiracy.
• Narrative voice: Third-person omniscient with shifts into close focalization; Rizal frequently uses dialogues and set-piece scenes to expose social ills.
