The reader is completely immersed in the world of the fantastic reality he created, which
in fact turns out to be the highest reality. The Master leaves for the otherworldly world in order to
wait here for the hour when the modern world is renewed and again demands it to itself. And the
reader's acquaintance with the text of "The Master and Margarita" is, according to Bulgakov's plan,
the act of liberating the Master, returning him to his people.
"Eternal" themes in the novel. Collision of good and evil. The theme of the clash of good
and evil in the novel is revealed by the example of several storylines: a) Pontius Pilate and Yeshua
Ga-Notsri - Yeshua embodies a person's ability to resist evil, violence with good; Pontius Pilate
personifies a power that fears people like Yeshua, for the sake of maintaining power Pilate is able
to
create evil; b) Woland, who is the embodiment of the forces of evil,
arrives in Moscow to
establish justice; c) the persecution of the master - the author of a novel about spiritual values -
literary critics and criminal authorities who defended the interests of spiritless authorities.
Theme of artistic creation. A real artist cannot but create. Winning the master in the lottery
was probably not accidental.
There is another problem here, which is love. She is real and false. At the time this book
was written, many mainly lived by civil marriage. But today, love for many people is in second
place, and maybe even in last. But the important thing for them is the situation in which they are
among society, as well as their financial situation. And in order to show that you need to change
your mind a little, he decided to show love between Margarita and the Master. And for the sake of
love, she even makes a deal with the devil himself. Usually, the devil must deceive his victim, but
this does not happen here. The Devil, on the contrary, helps her in everything and makes her not
only happy, but also free.
Thus, he was given a chance to write his novel, to remind people that they had lost spiritual
ideals, biblical truths. According to the master, the time he worked on the novel was "golden age,"
he is alive with his composition, which raised him above everyday life. The real creative work of
the master is contrasted in the novel with the writing on the spite of the day of Massolit's figures.
The theme of love.
The feeling of the master and Margarita is sincere, elevated, with his arrival the lives of
these people become much brighter. By the power of her love, Margarita returns the master and
his novel from oblivion.
A wide range of admirers of the novel.
Bulgakov's high skill, the versatility of the novel were assisted because people of different
ages and aesthetic tastes are read out by this work. "The Master and Margarita" is still one of the
favorite works of Russian literature, a "cult" book of several generations of readers.
"If there
is a God, how can evil be? But if there is evil, how can God be? " Lermontov
wrote. Speaking of the problem of good and evil in the work, it should be mentioned that Woland,
who caught up in all horror, and seemingly should cause disgust, actually established justice by
observing the actions of people. Woland punished society for the evil created for the sake of
justice. Evil for him is not a desire, but a way to overcome human shortcomings and injustice. The
decisions of a person to take the side of good or evil in the novel are observed by this particular
"carrier of evil."
Bulgakov shows that he who has done evil is obliged to atone for it. And this is what the
one who "forever wants evil and forever does good" does in the novel. Woland and his retinue
deliver truly crushing blows to the Moscow bureaucracy, greedy and petty ordinary people, vile
officials.
