| Bulgakov, M.A. The Master and Margarita |
| In this character, Bulgakov created a very unique image of Satan. He is not absolute evil. V. came to Moscow to judge. And it is important to note that no innocent person suffered because of him. At the very beginning of the novel, when V. appears on Patriarch's Ponds, he has a cane with a poodle's head on the handle. The black poodle is a sign of Satan. V.'s appearance is very remarkable. He has different eyes: "The right one with a golden spark at the bottom, piercing anyone to the depths of their soul, and the left one - empty and black, like a narrow needle's eye...". V.'s face is slightly tilted to one side, "the right corner of his mouth is pulled down," and his skin is very dark. V. is wise, and his philosophy is extremely interesting. One could say that he does not create evil; he creates justice, but in his own, diabolical ways. But he also performs good deeds. For example, it is V. who helps Margarita reunite with the Master in gratitude for her being the queen at his ball. He also frees these heroes from the burden of life in this reality and rewards them with peace. These people did not deserve the light, so Yeshua cannot take them to himself. And Satan can provide peace. V. says that darkness and light are inseparable. One cannot exist without the other. These concepts are interconnected. Bulgakov conveyed the image of a very wise and charming Devil. He should not be feared by those who have a completely clear conscience. |
