Characters

From Juan Galit, the other characters in the novel were Kabesang Leon (also known as Kapitan Leon, meaning Captain Leon, literally "Captain Lion", "Lion, the Head", or "Lion, the Leader"), Mauro, Luisa, Daniel, Nieves, and Pendoy. Mauro is a painter and a poet. Mauro is in love with Luisa, however Luisa's parents has a dislike for Mauro. Daniel, on the other hand, is in love with Nieves. Nieves is the daughter of a wealthy father. Pendoy is a character that was obsessed with Luisa and Nieves, thus wanted to ruin the relationships between Mauro and Luisa, and between Daniel and Nieves. Pendoy, apart from the parents of Luisa and Nieves, became one of the obstacles affecting the relationships in the story.

Description

Madaling Araw was written by Regalado when he 18 years old. According to literary critic Soledad Reyes, Madaling Araw was a complex and expansive novel that tackled issues that were personal to the author, as well as socio-political topics. Kabesang Leon was the personification of evil that represented the Filipino collaborators who tried to subjugate the lower class in Philippine society.
