El Fili as it is popularly called, is a darker and more evolved novel compared to Noli. It's a book about revenge, manipulation, deception and greed to name a few.
It's a shorter book. The dreaminess and idealism of the Noli Me Tangere gives way to the darker, grimmer, more cynical tone of the El Filibusterismo. So the language style also changes - instead of the longer, declamative dialogue of the Noli, you have the more direct, action-packed style of the Fili.
The Noli, with its anti-friar commentary, still shows hopefulness in terms of a just civil colonial governance. In comparison, the Fili describes a deep-seated corruption in both civil government and church, creating a society seething with injustice, and setting the stage for possible revolution. I guess this definitely shows the changes in Rizal's state of mind as he was writing the two novels.
So, he wrote Fili and expressed his thoughts on the possible solution to the country's situation. Yes, if you really analyze the messages in both novels, Noli's intention was to state the problem while Fili's was to present the possible solutions. I thought Rizal did not write Fili just to fan further the flame caused by Noli but to tell the Filipinos the different alternatives to their problems and what he thought was the best solution: non-violence.
1. Style. The opening scene in Noli, the grand welcome party in Capitan Tiago's house mirrors the condition of the country right away. On the other hand, the upper and lower decks in M/V Tabo shows the marked difference between the social strata in the country particularly the Spaniards (peninsulares, insulares, mestizos) and the lowly indios. As per as the manner of writing, i.e., long or short, simple or complex, sentences, rushed or leisurely pacing, they are the same.
