Don Crisostomo Ibarra, who has come from 7 years of studying in Europe, arrives at the feast wearing clothes that obviously seems like they are for mourning, accompanied by the party-planner, Kapitan Tiago. Ibarra is introduced to the other guests of the party as the son of Kapitan Tiago's deceased friend.
Padre Damaso and Ibarra meets, and immediately Damaso expresses his dislike for Ibarra. Although Ibarra extends a greeting towards the priest, thinking Damaso was a friend of his father, the priest ignores Ibarra's outstretched hand and says that Ibarra's father was no friend of his.
Applying the Western manners he had learned from Europe, Ibarra goes around and introduces himself to the various party guests.
Kapitan Tinong, one of the guests, approaches Ibarra and invites him to lunch the next day. Ibarra declines politely, saying that he has errands that he has to run.
All the guests are called to have lunch.
Analysis:
Ibarra represents the educated youth, who have brought new insights and knowledge from other countries. This knowledge that Ibarra has is feared by those who are in power, because they don't want to be overthrown.
One good trait that Rizal pointed out is introducing one's self when no one will introduce you.
