Rizal deleted the chapter on Elias and Salome from his novel "Noli Me Tangere" because he thought it disrupted the flow of the narrative and made the novel too lengthy. He wanted to focus more on the main themes of social injustices and abuses under Spanish colonial rule.
The chapter deleted by Rizal in his novel "Noli Me Tangere" due to financial reasons is known as the chapter of Ibarra's travels in Europe. This chapter was excluded from the published version of the novel as it was deemed to be too expensive to print and distribute.
Noli me Tangere is subdivided into 63 chapters each are simultaneous from one another and explored lives of different characters embedded into single time frame and has interconnections.
Rizal did not include Chapter 25 in Noli Me Tangere because he wanted to emphasize the impact of well-structured suspense and to provoke curiosity among readers.
