The
Master and Margarita
by Michael Bulgakov
The Master and Margarita is my most favorite
book which impresses me so much every time when I read this excellent masterpiece again and again. The book is written by Michael Bulgakov, a great Russian
writer of the early Soviet period. The
novel tells about numerous important interesting things, namely, a romantic affair of Master and Margarita, the eternal struggle between Satan and God, and moral values of Soviet citizens at the beginning of 1920’s.
There are three plot aspects in The Master and Margarita . Satan named Voland and his assistants come to Moscow with the aim to see whether this city has changed within the previous century. Greed, corruption and hypocrisy are
presented by the author in the book. However, women’s faithfulness and men’s nobleness are the most important aspects of the novel that are shown in the relationship between two protagonists: the Master and Margarita. The
story of Procurator Pontus Pilate and Jesus, and later his execution, is the genial insertion made by Michael Bulgakov. This new interpretation of the Bible leaves a deep impression on the reader.
In my opinion, it is one of the most wonderful and best books of this great writer. The characters of the protagonists are presented very convincingly. The story impressed me so much that I have a feeling that I know these persons very well and am able to read their thoughts. The interesting fact is that Voland is not a negative character in The Master and Margarita . As for me, he is like a teacher: he punishes people only when they commit sins. Voland is a villain with kind aims and hopes that one day people will become better without committing sins.
In the conclusion, it is to say that the novel The Master and Margarita by Michael Bulgakov is a classical masterpiece of world literature, and the admirers of this writer’s work will always enjoy reading the beautiful love story of the Master and his Margarita.
