Master and Margarita other world description. Three worlds in the novel "The Master and Margarita" - essay. Modern Moscow world

The Master and Margarita novel is a mystery. Each person who reads it discovers his own meaning in it. The text of the work is so full of problems that it is very difficult to find the main one, I would even say it is impossible.

The main difficulty is that several realities are intertwined in the novel: on the one hand, the Soviet life of Moscow in the 20-30s, on the other, the city of Yershalaim, and finally, the reality of the all-powerful Woland.

First world - Moscow 20-30s.

Satan came to Moscow to do justice, to rescue the Master, his masterpiece and Margarita. He sees that Moscow has become something like a Grand Ball: it is inhabited by traitors, scammers, sycophants, bribe-takers, money-changers. Bulgakov presented them both as individual characters and as employees of the following institutions: MASSOLIT, the Variety Theater and the Spectacle Commission. Every person has vices that Woland exposes. A more serious sin was committed by the workers of MASLIT, who call themselves writers and scientists. These people know a lot and at the same time deliberately lead people away from the search for truth, make the brilliant Master unhappy. For this, punishment overtakes the House of Griboyedov, where MASSOLIT is located. The Moscow population does not want to believe in anything without evidence, neither in God nor in the devil. In my opinion, Bulgakov hoped that someday people would realize the horror that had consumed Russia for many years, just as Ivan Bezdomny realized that his poems were terrible. But this did not happen during Bulgakov's lifetime.

The second world is Yershalaim.

Yershalaim is associated with many characteristic, inherent in it and at the same time uniting with Moscow details. This is the scorching sun, narrow tangled streets, terrain. The similarity of some elevations is especially surprising: Pashkov's House in Moscow and Pilate's palace, located above the roofs of city houses; Bald Mountain and Sparrow Hills. You can also pay attention to the fact that if in Yershalaim the hill with the crucified Yeshua is surrounded, then in Moscow with Woland leaving it. Only three days are described from the life of the city. The struggle between good and evil does not stop and cannot stop. Main character of the ancient world, Yeshua is very similar to Jesus. He is also a mere mortal who remained misunderstood. Yershalaim, invented by the Master, is fantastic. But it is he who looks the most real in the novel.

The third world is the mystical, fantastic Woland and his retinue.

Mysticism in the novel plays a completely realistic role and can serve as an example of the contradictions of reality. The underworld is headed by Woland. He is the devil, Satan, "prince of darkness", "spirit of evil and lord of shadows". Devilry in "The Master and Margarita" exposes human vices before us. Here and the devil Koroviev is a drunken bastard. Here is the cat Behemoth, very similar to a man and at times he turns into a man, very similar to a cat. Here is the hooligan Azazello with an ugly fang. Woland personifies eternity. He is that ever-existing evil that is necessary for the existence of good. In the novel, the traditional image of Satan is changed: it is no longer an immoral, evil, treacherous demon-destroyer. Evil spirits appear in Moscow with a revision. She is interested in whether the townspeople have changed internally. Watching the audience in the Variety, the "professor of black magic" tends to think that, in fact, nothing has changed. The evil spirit appears before us as an evil human will, being an instrument of punishment, committing intrigues at the suggestion of people. Woland seemed to me fair, objective, and his justice was manifested not only in the punishment of some heroes. Thanks to him, the Master and Margarita are reunited.

All the heroes of the novel are closely connected with each other, without the existence of some, the existence of others would be impossible, just as there can be no light without darkness. The novel "The Master and Margarita" tells about the responsibility of a person for his actions. Actions are united by one idea - the search for truth and the struggle for it. Enmity, distrust, envy reign in the world at all times. This novel belongs to those works that must be re-read in order to better understand the subtext, to see new details that you might not have paid attention to the first time. This happens not only because the novel touches on many philosophical problems, but also because of the complex "three-dimensional" structure of the work.

1. Introductory speech of the teacher

“Manuscripts do not burn…” - the writer M. A. Bulgakov died with this faith in the power of art, all of whose main works at that time lay unpublished in the drawers of his desk and only a quarter of a century later, one after another, came to the reader. The novel "The Master and Margarita", which has absorbed the infinity of time and the immensity of space, is so multifaceted that it does not fit into the usual framework and schemes. It combined philosophy, science fiction, satire, politics, love; intertwined the devilish and the divine. There is hardly a person for whom all the secrets of the novel, all the riddles have been solved.

The action of the novel takes place in several worlds at once. The purpose of our lesson: to understand the purpose of each world and find the "place" of the main characters of the Master and Margarita.

Many researchers distinguish three worlds, three levels of reality in the novel. Name them.

Hero and Roman: Master, Margarita, Pontius Pilate, Yeshua, Ratslayer, Natasha, Gella, Nisa. Kroviev-Fagot, Behemoth the cat, Azazello, Woland, Aphranius, Judas, Aloisy Mogarych, Levi Matvey, Ivan Bezdomny (Ponyrev) and others.

How are these three worlds related?(The role of the connecting link is performed by Woland and his retinue. Time and space either shrink, then expand, then converge at one point, intersect, then lose their boundaries, that is, they are both concrete and conditional.)

Many characters of the Moscow world have counterparts in the ancient world. In turn, there is a parallelism between the images of the other world and the world of the ancient, and partly of Moscow; moreover, triads of images are created. Why does the writer make such complex constructions? Let's try to figure it out.

At the hour of an unusually hot sunset on Patriarch's Ponds, our acquaintance with Moscow in the 1930s begins. And following Ivanushka, rushing through the streets, running into communal apartments, we see this world.

Problem question:Why is Berlioz so terribly punished?Because he's an atheist? For the fact that he adapts to the new government? For seducing Ivanushka Bezdomny with unbelief?Woland is annoyed: “What is it with you, whatever you miss, there is nothing!” Berlioz receives "nothing", non-existence. He receives according to his faith.)

For what purpose does Woland and his retinue visit Moscow? What are the objects and techniques of Bulgakov's satire?

What lies at the basis of human behavior - a combination of circumstances, a series of accidents, predestination or following chosen ideals, ideas? Who rules human life? If life is woven from accidents, is it possible to vouch for the future, to be responsible for others? Are there any immutable moral criteria, or are they changeable and a person is driven by fear of power and death, a thirst for power and wealth?

In the early morning of the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan, in a white cloak with bloody lining, shuffling gait, the procurator of Judea, the son of an astrologer, the horseman Pontius Pilate, came out into the covered colonnade of the palace of Herod the Great in the city of Yershalaim hated by him, .. "

(“Cowardice is the most serious vice,” Woland repeats (chapter 32, scene of a night flight). Pilate says that “more than anything in the world he hates his immortality and unheard-of glory”)

Problem question:In what way do you see the difference between the "evangelical" and "Moscow" chapters? How are Yershalaim and Moscow similar?(The two worlds are very similar, although separated by time. Two cities are described in the same way (clouds, a thunderstorm that came from the west). Different clothes, different habits, different houses, But the essence of people is the same. Tyranny, unfair trial, denunciations, executions, enmity .)

Two worlds are interconnected, Connected by the Master, who guessed and wrote a novel,

– How is the Master similar to Yeshua?(They are related by truthfulness, incorruptibility, devotion to their faith, independence, the ability to empathize with someone else's grief. But the master did not show the necessary stamina, did not defend his dignity. He did not fulfill his duty and turned out to be broken. That is why he burns his novel).

The two worlds are connected with each other and with that force of evil that was present always and everywhere.

We are entering the third world - the world of otherworldly power.

3rd group. The world of otherworldly power is eternal.

problem question: Main question, which interests us: "The evil spirit in the novel is evil or good?"

- With whom did Woland come to earth?

It turns out that the world is surrounded by grabbers, bribe-takers, sycophants, swindlers, opportunists, self-interested people. And now Bulgakov's satire is ripening, growing and falling on their heads, the conductors of which are aliens from the world of Darkness

But Woland saves Pilate from the pangs of conscience, returns the Master his novel and gives him eternal rest, helps Margarita find the Master.

For Bulgakov, Woland personifies the fate that punishes Berlioz, Sokov and others who violate the norms of Christian morality.. Woland does not betray, does not lie, does not sow evil. He reveals, reveals, reveals the vile in life in order to punish it all. It is thanks to Woland that truth and honesty are reborn. This is the first devil in world literature, punishing for non-compliance with the commandments of Christ. We can say that Woland is an ever-existing evil, which is necessary for the existence of good. (back to epigraphs)

Let's see what happened after Woland's disappearance from Moscow. The punishment is over. Rimsky returned, Varenukha ceased to be a vampire, the patients of Stravinsky's clinic were cured. This means that Woland is needed not only to punish those who have not resisted temptation. He left a warning. And the punishment is within.

  • Woland collapsed into a black hole, Pontius Pilate, released by the Master, was leaving by the moonbeam. But the Master is not with them. Where is the place for the Master and Margarita?

4 group. Master and Margarita

peace, promised to the Master looks attractive after all he's been through. But the nature of peace is unclear. Neither happiness on earth, nor departure into the light, the Master deserved. The most serious sin of the master is the rejection of creation, of the search for truth. True, having expiated his guilt by discovering the truth, the Master has earned forgiveness and is worthy of freedom and peace. Perhaps peace is death, because the Master receives this award from the hands of Woland, the Prince of Darkness. The master is endowed with the ability to "guess" the truth. His gift can save people from unconsciousness, from their forgotten ability to do good. But the Master, having composed the novel, could not stand the struggle for it.

Who told you that there is no real, true, eternal love? Let the liar cut out his vile tongue! Margarita is an earthly, sinful woman. She can swear, flirt, she is a woman without prejudice. Only she of the heroes does not have a double? Why?(Her image is unique. She loves selflessly, to the point of self-sacrifice, she sells her soul to the devil, she decides to share even death with her lover.)

How did Margarita deserve the special mercy of the higher powers that control the universe? In the name of what does she perform a feat?Margarita, probably one of those one hundred and twenty-two Margaritas that Koroviev spoke about, knows what love is.

What is love?Love is the second way (after creativity) to the super-reality, something that can resist the ever-existing evil. The concepts of goodness, forgiveness, responsibility, truth, harmony are also connected with love and creativity.

Find evidence for this in the text.

Output: Margarita values ​​the novel more than the Master. By the power of his love, he saves the Master, he finds peace. The true values ​​affirmed by the author of the novel are connected with the theme of creativity and the theme of Margarita: personal freedom, mercy, honesty, truth, faith, love.

What is the main conclusion of the novel?Each will be rewarded according to merit. This is what the world is built on. God in your souls - CONSCIENCE. She does not allow to commit evil deeds and protects from all temptations.

3. The results of the lesson.

- all the plans of the book are united by the problem of good and evil;
– themes: the search for truth, the theme of creativity
- all these layers and space-time spheres merge at the end of the book

The truth, which Yeshua was the bearer of, turned out to be historically unrealized, remaining at the same time absolutely beautiful. This is the tragedy of human existence. Woland makes a disappointing conclusion about the immutability of human nature, but in these same words the thought of the indestructibility of mercy in human hearts sounds.
