The Master and Margarita a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov

Mikhail Bulgakov his novel «The Master and Margarita» give the reader a new gospel, as if opening his own philosophy of life. But what is the role of play in this system, the world Satan? The Bible clearly says that he - the enemy of man. This is, then, to explain the return of beloved Margarita or the head of the theater konferanse «Variety»? What, then, the mystery of Bulgakov's devil, and he was like the devil or that? The first man, who appeared in the «hot unprecedented event» at the Patriarch's Ponds in the call by Mikhail Alexandrovich Berlioz with the poet Ivan Homeless, was an Englishman or a German, one word - a foreigner, Satan himself. «Your cut off head!» - Happily announced he headed council Massolita ...Read more...



And so it happened: a few hours Berlioz was under the tram. Critics believe that the victim paid for their disbelief, and that his condemnation of anyone else, as a mysterious consultant. There is a lot of questions. How, for example, to condemn Satan for disbelief in God, and how he, an angel of hollow, generally able to judge? Secret and hidden in the Berlioz, more precisely, in his name. «No composer», - noted Ivanushka in its explanatory memorandum. And, it seems, the author had in mind is a composer, author of the dramatic legend «Condemnation of Faust» trilogy and «The Childhood of Christ». Let us remember the epigraph, taken Bulgakova: «... And who are you, finally, this? I - part of a force that forever wants evil and always makes good »(Goethe,« Faust »), The endless chain of associations that may not always be explained and proslezhennye, but actually exist. A representative suite Voland, as it turned out, had their own history, not only on the pages of the novel, but also beyond.



Among the Arab tribes was widespread celebration kozloprinosheniya, holiday Azazelo. Its essence was to buy off Azazelo - merciless angel of death, which, for the beliefs of the Arabs, all in black and black on the wings of a person arrives to pick up with her soul. His face was pale and cold, and your eyes - empty and black. Involuntarily, an association with the demon-killer with a 32-second section of the novel. Let us turn to one of the magical characters of the work, not quite a cat - Hippo, the best jester in the world. In ancient Egyptian hippopotamus has been the embodiment of evil, God Tifona.



To be honest, Voland was another fool - Fagot, unique poseur-regent with drenkuchim voice in checkered suit and broken pince-nez. A word «bassoon» in French language means «fool». It would be interesting to refer to another character - Abadonne. For the beliefs of the same Arab tribes, to the dying man comes Abaddon angel, messenger of death. It was known that his wings were hang round in pairs of human eyes. It appeared to the people with his eyes closed, and only met him dying eyes. The novel is Abadonna, removing the glasses, looking into the eyes of the baron, killing him.
«Devilish trap», - shepchu me. But how intimidating they are not invited guests?



The question arises: why do some Voland caresses, and other severely punished? Or did not he merciful to Margarita or konferanse theater «Variety»? No, Satan does not gives mercy. Margaret gave him his life, becoming a witch, a poor, poor konferanse. He prayed for mercy. Begs comparison with the leader of all peoples by Stalin. Maybe, in an infinitely multifaceted Satan contained part of the nobles, or so he has dominated in their hearts. Thousands of questions and no answers.

Let's even up to one section of the novel. Black magic and inculpation. Voland simultaneously serves as a magician, artist, illusionist, and the experimenter. And the experiment belongs to the people ... Part One: from the sky in a huge amount of money flying and after a few minutes of Bengal remains without a title. One is surprised how skillfully and, more importantly, just as Satan has infiltrated the human soul. He delivered his verdict. Part Two: Women's shop and a denunciation of Arcadia Apollonovich Semplyarova. It was a blatant inculpation is better seems to sneer. No, the devil was in Moscow not to, just to make a difference. He did not want to open people eyes, he just made a withdrawal and have to deal with Moscow.



I understand that the image of Satan, are disclosed in the Bible, virtually nothing in common with Bulgakov's devil is not. In one film, I heard the words spoken devil man: «I just arrange decorations, and twine trifle thou». The man who got on the hook of sin, may be freed only in one way: to give life to God or Satan. These thoughts do not have in the novel, but it is that person who got into the swamp of sin, be sure to catch the fisherman - both left the Semlyarovim. So, the devil everywhere arranges its network, which could not get proud and selfish Moscovites. So we came to, which began: «Be sober, be! Your enemy - the devil - walking tools, like a lion, who is looking for people devour»
