Why rizal become a dramatist?

Jose Rizal did not become a dramatist in the traditional sense. While he was a prolific writer, his works primarily focused on novels, essays, poems, and political writings. He did not write any plays.

It's important to distinguish between being a dramatist (writing plays) and being involved in drama.

It's possible that you are thinking about Rizal's involvement in the "Zarzuela" - a popular Spanish musical genre. Rizal did write a zarzuela, "The Council of the Gods" (El Consejo de los Dioses), which was a political satire critical of Spanish colonial rule. However, this was not a major part of his literary output.

Here are some factors that might have contributed to his interest in the "Zarzuela" genre:

* Political Commentary: The "Zarzuela" provided a platform for social and political commentary, allowing Rizal to criticize the Spanish colonial administration through humorous and satirical means.

* Cultural Impact: The "Zarzuela" was a popular form of entertainment in the Philippines at the time, and Rizal likely used it to engage with a wider audience and raise awareness about the injustices faced by Filipinos under Spanish rule.

* Literary Expression: Though not primarily a playwright, Rizal's talent for storytelling and writing dialogue likely influenced his decision to experiment with this genre.

In conclusion, while Rizal did not become a professional dramatist, he was involved in the "Zarzuela" as a means of expressing his political views and engaging with the Filipino people.
