The tragic love of the heroes master and margarita. Love of the master and margarita

So that the path of true love is wide.
W. Shakespeare
G. Bulgakov believed that it was love and hate, courage and excitement, the ability to appreciate beauty and kindness. But love ... she, above all. Bulgakov wrote the heroine of his novel with Elena Sergeevna, the beloved woman who was his wife. Soon after they met, she took on her shoulders, perhaps most of him, the Master, a terrible burden, became his Margarita.

The story of the Master and Margarita is not one of the lines of the novel, but its main theme. All the events, all the diversity of the novel, converge to it. They did not just meet, fate pushed them at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane. Love struck both like lightning, like a Finnish knife. “Love jumped out in front of us, like a murderer jumping out of the ground in an alley ...” - this is how Bulgakov describes the origin of love in his heroes. Already these comparisons foreshadow the future tragedy of their love. But at first everything was very calm.
When they first met, they spoke as if they had known each other for a long time. Love broke out violently and it seemed that it should burn people to the ground, but she turned out to be homely and calm.

In the basement apartment of the Master Margarita, wearing an apron, ran the household while her beloved was working on a novel. The lovers baked potatoes, ate them with dirty hands, laughed. It was not sad yellow flowers that were placed in the vase, but roses, beloved by the two of them. Margarita was the first to read the already finished pages of the novel, hurried the author, predicted fame for him, constantly called him the Master. The phrases of the novel, which she especially liked, she repeated loudly and melodiously. She said that in this novel her life. This was an inspiration for the Master, her words strengthened his self-confidence.

Bulgakov very carefully and chastely talks about the love of his heroes. He was not killed by the dark days when the Master was defeated. Love was with him even during the serious illness of the Master. started when the Master disappeared for many months. Margarita tirelessly thought of him, not for a moment did her heart part with him. Even when it seemed to her that her beloved was gone. The desire to know at least something about his fate wins over the mind, and then the diabolism begins, in which Margarita takes part. In all diabolical adventures, she is accompanied by the loving gaze of the writer. The pages dedicated to Margarita are a poem in the name of her beloved, Elena Sergeevna. He was ready to make "his last flight" with her. So he wrote to his wife on a donated copy of his collection "Diaboliad".

With the power of her love, Margarita returns the Master from non-existence. Bulgakov did not come up with a happy ending for all the heroes of his novel: as it was before the invasion of the satanic company in Moscow, it remains so. And only for the Master and Margarita, Bulgakov, as he believed, wrote a happy ending: they will have eternal peace in the eternal home, which the Master was given as a reward.

Lovers will enjoy the silence, those they love will come to them ... The Master will fall asleep with a smile, and she will forever protect his sleep. “The master silently walked with her and listened. His restless memory began to fade, ”this is how this tragic love ends.
And although in the last words - the sadness of death, but there is also a promise of immortality and eternal life. It comes true today: the Master and Margarita, like their creator, is destined for a long life. Many generations will read this satirical, philosophical, but most importantly - lyric-love novel, which confirmed that the tragedy of love is a tradition of all Russian literature.

In the novel "The Master and Margarita" unites, it would seem, such that it is impossible to combine: history and fantasy, reality and myth, funny and serious. But when reading the novel, you understand that it is impossible to write it differently, because it represents three worlds - biblical antiquity, Bulgakov's contemporary reality and the fantastic reality of the diaboliad.

At first it seems that the connection of these worlds is conditional. The novel about Pilate and Yeshua Ha-Nozri is just a novel within a novel, like a form. But over time, it turns out that the deep meaning is in how the chapters that talk about biblical antiquity are connected with the present. The center of the life of any society is the mentality built on the laws of morality. When you watch the life of Soviet society, described by Bulgakov, it seems that people have forgotten about moral rules. So, about the events of the first century, it is intended to remind people of the eternal laws of being. Nothing has lost relevance since that time. Cowardice is still considered a disadvantage that pulls along. Change remains change.

And now people strive for goodness and justice. True, sometimes only for themselves. But it seems that this is what unites all three worlds: faith in the law of justice, the inevitability of punishment for evil. So, good and evil is the measure of the human society of the individual. Just for evil and return for good serves the author as the engine of the entire plot. There is something reckless about trying to solve the eternal problem of the struggle between good and evil by bringing Satan into it. So another world is added to reality, quite fantastic at first glance. But through him the real world is freed from sneaks, like Aloyzy Magarych, or slanderers and bribe-takers, drunkards and liars. The reader understands Margarita, who, having turned into a witch, takes revenge on Latunsky's critics by committing a real pogrom in his apartment.

The return of the Master to his house with Margarita and the preservation of his novel seem to be witchcraft obtaining justice - “manuscripts do not burn!” In reality, all the worlds are united. Nevertheless, the existence of the world of biblical antiquity, as well as the fantasy world of Woland, fills modernity with new content. Life is not so easy, but there is an eternal law of justice and goodness that governs human actions and the development of all mankind.

From that very night, Margarita for a long time did not see the one for whom she wanted to leave her husband, leaving everything behind; one for which she was not afraid to ruin her own life. But neither in her nor in him did the great feeling that arose at the first chance meeting disappear. The master, being in a clinic for the mentally ill, did not want to tell Margarita about himself, fearing to hurt her, to destroy her life. She desperately tried to find him. Their life was destroyed by the same unnatural order, which not only did not allow art to develop, but also did not allow people to live in peace, roughly penetrating even where there is no place for politics. Bulgakov did not accidentally choose a similar plot for the novel.
He himself experienced a lot in life. He was familiar with the mediocre insulting reviews of critics in the newspapers, where his name was declined undeservedly, he himself could not find a job, realize his potential.
But Bulgakov did not end his novel with the separation of the Master and Margarita. In the second part, love finds a way out of the dirt of the surrounding reality. But this exit was fantastic, since the real one was hardly possible. Without regret and without fear, Margarita agrees to be the queen at Satan's ball. She took this step only for the sake of the Master, about whom she never stopped thinking and about whose fate she could learn only by fulfilling Woland's conditions. Being a witch, Margarita took revenge on the critic Latunsky, who did a lot to destroy the Master. And not only Latunsky received what he deserved in the course of the development of the plot of the novel. For her service, Margarita received what she had dreamed of for so long. The main characters were together. But they would hardly be able to live in peace in the atmosphere of the then reality. Obviously, therefore, according to the fantastic plan of the writer, they leave this world, finding peace in another.
The master could not win. By making him a winner, Bulgakov would have violated the laws of artistic truth, betraying his sense of realism. But from the final pages of the book does not breathe pessimism. Let us not forget those views that were pleasing to the government. In addition, envious people appeared among the critics and writers of the Master, striving by all means to prevent the recognition of the new author. These people, for whom it was most important to receive material benefits from their position in society, did not strive and could not create anything worthy of the high artistic level that the Master achieved in his novel. Their articles came out one after another, each time becoming more and more offensive. The writer, who lost hope and the goal of his future literary activity, gradually began to feel more and more depressed, which affected his mental state. Driven to despair, the Master destroyed his work, which was the main work of his life. All this deeply shocked Margarita, who admired the work of the Master and believed in his great talent.
The situation that knocked the Master out of his normal state was noticeable everywhere, in various spheres of life. Suffice it to recall the barman “with fish of the second freshness” and gold tens in hiding places; Nikanor Ivanovich, chairman of a housing association, who settled evil spirits in a house on Sadovaya Street for a lot of money; the entertainer of Bengal, narrow-minded, dim-witted and pompous; Arkady Apollonovich, chairman of the acoustic commission of Moscow theaters, often secretly from his wife spending time with a pretty actress; morals existing among the population of the city. These morals were clearly manifested at the performance arranged by Woland, when the inhabitants greedily grabbed the money flying from under the dome, and the women went down to the stage for fashionable rags, which could be obtained free of charge from the hands of foreign magicians. The Master encountered these morals very closely when he had a friend - Aloisy Mogarych. This man, whom the Master trusted and whose intelligence he admired, denounced the Master in order to move into his apartment. This denunciation was enough to ruin a man's life. Some people came to the Master at night and took him away. Such cases were not uncommon at the time.
Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov repeatedly addressed the topic - the artist and society, which found its deepest embodiment in the writer's main book. The novel "The Master and Margarita", on which the author worked for twelve years, remained in his archive and was first published in 1966-1967 in the magazine "Moscow".
In this book, happy freedom of creativity and at the same time the severity of the compositional, architectural design reign. There the great ball of Satan rules, and the inspired Master, a contemporary of Bulgakov, writes his immortal novel. There, the procurator of Judea sends Christ to be executed, and nearby, quite earthly citizens, inhabiting Sadovye and Bronny streets of the 20-30s of our century, fuss, fawn, adapt, betray. Laughter and sadness, joy and pain are mixed together there, as in life, but in that high degree of concentration that is available only to a fairy tale, a poem. “The Master and Margarita” is a lyric-philosophical poem in prose about love and moral duty, about the inhumanity of evil, about true creativity, which is always overcoming inhumanity, always an impulse towards light and goodness.
The main characters of the novel - the Master and Margarita - live in an atmosphere of some kind of emptiness and grayness, from which both are looking for a way out. This outlet for the Master was creativity, and then for both of them it was love. This great feeling filled their lives with new meaning, created around the Master and Margarita only their little world, in which they found peace and happiness. However, their happiness was short-lived. It lasted only as long as the Master was writing his novel in a small basement, where Margarita came to see him. The Master's first attempt to publish the finished novel brought him great disappointment. Even more disappointment awaited him after some editor printed a large excerpt from the work. The novel about Pontius Pilate, which has moral and artistic value, was doomed to condemnation. He could not fit into that environment of literature, where above all was not the talent of the writer, but his political views; on the ground, the Master left a student, his sight Ivan Ponyrev, the former Homeless; on earth, the Master has left a novel that is destined for a long life. Bulgakov's novel gives rise to a sense of the triumph of justice and the belief that there will always be people who stand above baseness, vulgarity and immorality, people who bring goodness and truth to our world. Such people above all put love, which has great and beautiful power.

Bulgakov wrote the brilliant novel The Master and Margarita. This novel has been revised several times. The novel is not divided into two parts: the biblical story and the love of the Master and Margarita. Bulgakov asserts the priority of simple human feelings over any social relations in the novel itself. Mikhail Afanasyevich plays in this work some of the main motives of all creativity.
The main characters of the novel Master and Margarita are married people, but their family life was not very happy. Maybe that's why the heroes are looking for what they lack so much. Margarita in the novel has become a beautiful, generalized and poetic image of a Woman who Loves. Without this image, the novel would lose its appeal. This image rises above the layer of the satirical everyday life of the novel, the embodiment of living hot love. A fantastic image of a woman, so inspiringly turning into a witch, with the fury of her reprisal against the enemy of the Master Latunsky, with her tender readiness for motherhood. A woman who doesn’t have to say anything to the devil: “Dear, dear Azazello!”, Because he planted in her heart the hope that she would see her lover.
In the novel, with the brightness of her natural love, she is opposed to the Master. She herself compares fierce love with Matvey's fierce devotion. Margarita's love, like life, is all-encompassing and, like life, is alive. Margarita is opposed to the warrior and commander Pilate with her fearlessness. And defenseless and powerful in its humanity - to the all-powerful Woland.
The master is in many ways similar to Goethe's Faust and the author himself. At first he was a historian, and then he suddenly felt his writing vocation. The master is indifferent to the joys of family life, he does not even remember the name of his wife, he does not strive to have children. When the Master was still married, he spent all his free time in the museum where he worked. He was lonely, and he liked it, but when he met Margarita, he realized that he had found a kindred spirit. There was a major mistake in the fate of the Master, which is worth thinking about. He is deprived of light, true knowledge, the Master only guesses. This mistake is in refusing to fulfill the difficult task of writing, from the daily struggle for the light of knowledge, for truth and love, for your novel and the story of the courage of Margarita, who saved the desperate, tormented Master. In real life, the Master is a man of rare talent, virginal honesty and spiritual purity. The Master's love for Margarita is in many ways unearthly, eternal love. It has nothing to do with creating a family. In general, it should be noted that in the novel none of the characters is connected by other family ties. It can be said that the image of the Master is a symbol of suffering, humanity, a seeker of truth in a vulgar world. The master wanted to write a novel about Pontius Pilate, but this work was not accepted by critics. He sold his soul to Woland to write his novel. Mental suffering broke the Master, and he never saw his work. The Master can find romance again and connect with his beloved only in the last shelter provided by Voland.
Why did love break out between these heroes? It must be that in the eyes of the Master, as well as in the eyes of Margarita, some incomprehensible light was burning, otherwise there is no way to explain the love that “jumped out” in front of them and struck both at once. One could expect that since such love broke out, it would be passionate, stormy, burning both hearts to the ground. Neither the joyless black days when the Master's novel was crushed by critics and the life of lovers stopped, nor the serious illness of the Master, nor his sudden disappearance for many months, did not extinguish it. This love turned out to have a peaceful domestic character. Margarita could not part with the Master even for a minute, even when he was gone and, one had to think, never would be. She could only mentally beg him to let her go free. The witch really wakes up in Margaret with the hope of seeing the Master again or at least hearing something about him, even at some incredible price: “Oh, really, I would lay my soul to the devil just to find out if he is alive or not !” she thinks. Having finally broken with her husband, with whom she was connected only by a feeling of gratitude for all the good done for her, on the eve of the meeting with the Master, for the first time she experiences a feeling of complete freedom. The story of the Master and Margarita is the most important in the novel. Being born, she, like a transparent stream, crosses the entire space of the novel from edge to edge, breaking through the rubble and abysses on her way and leaving for the other world, for eternity. Margarita and the Master were victims of temptation, so they did not deserve the light. Yeshua and Woland rewarded them with eternal rest. They wanted to be free and happy, but in a world where everything was consumed by evil, this was not possible. In a world where the role and action of a person is determined by his social position, there is still good, love, creativity, but they have to hide in the other world, seek protection from the devil himself - Woland. M.A. Bulgakov described heroes full of life, joy, capable of taking an extreme step for the sake of love. By the strength of their love, they became among the immortal heroes - Romeo and Juliet and others. The novel once again proves that love will conquer death, that it is true love that pushes people to various feats, even if they are meaningless. The author penetrated into the world of human feelings and showed, if I may say so, the ideals of real people. A person is free to choose between good and evil, and the memory of a person plays an important role: it does not allow black forces to take possession of a person. The tragedy of the Master and Margarita is in the misunderstanding of the surrounding world. They challenged the whole world and heaven with their love.

And I didn’t read it - in history, in a fairy tale, -
May the path of true love be smooth.
W. Shakespeare

Composition based on the work on the topic: The tragic love of the Master and Margarita in conflict with the surrounding vulgarity (based on the novel by M. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita”)

Probably, there is not a single writer who would bypass such an eternal theme as love in his work. And no wonder: after all, this is the brightest and strongest feeling that a person can experience. However, for each of us, the word “love” means something very personal: for some, mutual happiness, for others, suffering and unrequited feelings, for others, sacrifice. The same is true in literature: in the works of different authors this feeling is depicted in different ways in accordance with their emotional world. What is love in The Master and Margarita? Reciprocity? Suffering? Victim? Like all other aspects of the novel, it is not unambiguous and, rather, combines all these features.

If you read the novel inattentively, then it seems that love in it is far from being in the first place. After all, the reader gets to know the Master closer to the middle of the book, in the thirteenth chapter, and at the same time, for the first time, his feelings are discussed.

And the reader first recognizes Margarita only from the stories of a madman, and it seems that she and love for her are just a figment of his sick imagination. Especially since he doesn't even mention her name.

True, in the nineteenth chapter, when half of the novel has already been read, we still get to know the woman about whom the Master told Ivanushka Bezdomny in the hospital, and we are convinced that she really exists. True, not so much of the novel is devoted to her, and even less to her beloved - the Master. Together, the reader sees them only at the end of the book. Thus, it seems that Bulgakov paid little attention to the lovers.

This is exactly the case if we evaluate the work from the point of view of mathematics. On the other hand, it is important what the author himself thinks about this? It’s easy to find out his opinion - you just need to read the title of the novel again: “The Master and Margarita”. This alone puts the story of two lovers in the first place. The question arises: why are the main characters exactly they, and not Woland and his retinue, about whom much more has been written? Why was it their feeling that gave the title to the novel?

Probably because the love described by Bulgakov, as it were, singled out the Master and Margarita from a number of other characters, elevated them above them to such an extent that even higher powers became interested in people capable of such a strong feeling. After all, Woland, who, according to the author's intention, appeared in Moscow only to punish those who deserve it, helped the lovers to unite and rewarded each of them according to their deserts.

What is so special about this love? She is special in every way, from start to finish. About the first meeting and about the instantly flared feeling, the Master says: “This is how lightning strikes, how a Finnish knife strikes!” This feeling changed him, made him wake up, as it were. After all, he had never experienced anything like this before, although he was even married. Bulgakov contrasts Margarita with the Master's wife: he can't remember the name of his wife, even snapping his fingers and remembering minor details like a striped dress. Margarita, he cannot forget, even going crazy, being in a psychiatric hospital.

Margarita herself has a different opinion about their love: they "loved each other a long time ago, not knowing each other, not seeing," she says. Does this mean that the heroine foresaw a fateful meeting? Most likely, Margarita was not happy with her husband and came up with an ideal love for herself. This is probably why she noticed the Master on the street, who corresponded to her ideas about the romantic ideal.

One way or another, the lovers were sure that they were "pushed by fate itself", and became inseparable. However, the attitude of the characters to each other and to the feeling was different: the Master waited for his beloved every day from the very morning, freezing at every knock on the gate, she was “naughty” - she played with him, lingering at the window, not immediately entering the rooms. In addition, unlike the lonely writer, Margarita had a husband, a good man whom she did not want to leave. Which one loved more? Then the Master. Margarita experienced, rather, romantic love, which was fueled by passion.

Nevertheless, she took upon herself the burden of caring for a lonely person: she cooked dinners for him, dusted old books, sewed a hat, and most importantly, supported the Master with her mere presence, and also helped in his work, becoming the first reader of the novel. Perhaps this last circumstance was the reason for the birth of true love. For the first time, Margarita felt truly needed - not by her husband, who was a good person, but with whom she was bored, but by the Master. That is why she did not leave him when the novel was rejected by publishers and ridiculed by critics. After all, just then she became even more necessary to him.

In a difficult time for the Master, Margarita was no longer the romantic woman in love that the writer met while walking around Moscow. She already loved with all her heart, inwardly feeling the state of a person dear to her and worrying about him. Simple love in such an environment would not last long; Margarita right now for the first time thought about leaving her husband and moving to the Master for good. She ran to him at night, feeling that her beloved was not well, and with her bare hands took out of the fire the sheets of the novel he had burned.

The question arises: maybe the novel was dear to the heroine, and not its creator? Perhaps she loved not a man, but a writer? No wonder she said to Woland after the ball: "My whole life is in this novel."

However, the Master's book is not an object of love for Margarita, but rather her symbol. She loves the Master himself. After all, it is after his disappearance that she feels so unhappy, it is he who is looking for and waiting. For the sake of him, Margarita commits the fall, making a deal with Satan. This is what becomes the sacrifice that she eventually made for the sake of love.

But really, was the sacrifice so great? After all, Margarita was only present at Woland's ball, without doing anything wrong, even becoming a young and beautiful witch. Was it even a sacrifice?

Undoubtedly. To return her beloved, Margarita experienced both shame, receiving the guests of Satan naked, and pain because thousands of sinners condemned to eternal torment kissed her knee and hand, and fear when Baron Meigel was killed in her presence and offered to drink his blood. Even a simple agreement to listen to Azazello at the Kremlin wall was a sacrifice: after all, Margarita was no longer that frivolous bored woman who met the Master six months ago. This new Margarita, unhappy, loving and suffering, did not even want to talk to any man, be it a street impudent person, whom she introduced Azazello to, or a rich foreigner. Neither money nor adventure interested her anymore.

Thus, Margarita experienced happiness in love, and then went through suffering and made a sacrifice. But what about the Master? Was it the same in his life?

He was happy only because he met Margarita, and enjoyed every moment spent with her. He suffered because he made her suffer. And even his sacrifice was made not so much in the name of love, but for the sake of his beloved: the Master disappeared from her life, seeing that he brings her nothing but grief. He was even ready to give up the dream that someday, leaving the clinic healthy, he would meet his beloved again. He did not write to Margarita, did not make himself felt. Why? Was this not cruelty to the woman who loved him? There was, however, even greater suffering would have caused her to wait, as well as the knowledge that her beloved is crazy. He sincerely hoped for her own good that Margarita would forget him.

Whose sacrifice was greater? It is difficult to say: after all, everyone has lost what was very important to him. Margarita abandoned her good name, her husband, a secure and comfortable life - and all this for the sake of love. She was ready to die when, out of her own frivolity, she asked Woland not for happiness for herself, but for forgiveness for an unfamiliar woman who had committed a crime. The master abandoned love itself for the sake of Margarita's happiness.

By the will of the author, the lovers nevertheless ended up together. Why did he nevertheless “let them go” from Moscow, giving them another life in return? Maybe because such love has no place among ordinary people, in the society that Bulgakov described. After all, even the lovers themselves did not immediately believe that all their misfortunes were behind them. Moreover, others would not believe in their love. After all, society is not able to accept the Master or Margarita as they have become by the end of this story. The Master is a mentally ill writer who has written a book on a forbidden subject. Margarita is an immoral woman who left her husband for her lover. Only they themselves were able to accept each other like that. On the other hand, this incredible love and the sacrifices made by the Master and Margarita elevated them above the whole world, made them incomprehensible to other people. It was in order to protect this incredible love from people who are not able to understand and accept it that Woland gave them another life in which they can always be together.
