"Caybigan" by James Hopper is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily in the Philippines, where the complexities of colonial education, morality, and the struggles of a group of expatriate teachers are explored through their interactions and experiences in a foreign land. The narrative centers on characters like Miller, a flawed and morally ambiguous figure, and his encounter with dire circumstances that challenge his character and the judgments of those around him. The opening of the novel introduces a group of teachers gathered in Ilo-Ilo during the Christmas holidays amid the unsettling realities following a cholera outbreak. As they reflect on the death of a colleague named Miller, their conversation reveals their judgments about him and their own vulnerabilities. Carter, one of the teachers, passionately defends Miller, highlighting their shared experiences, revealing the inner turmoil contrasted with the outward appearance of strength and moral superiority. The narrative discusses themes of judgment, loneliness, and the moral complexities of survival, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of Miller's struggles and the harsh realities these expatriates confront in a challenging environment.
