Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita, as one of the most celebrated novels of Russian literature and world literature in general, has remarkable similarities with the German novel Faust. It harbors interest among many as it incorporates various cultural and religious differences: Russian, Jewish, Christian etc. The writing of the novel ended with the writer’s death in the year 1940, while the publication of this work was impeded for full 26 years because the unfavorable historic and political circumstances simply made it impossible. The communist party and the readers are of the opinion that Bulgakov expressed his views on the conditions in the country by implying the notion of Satan himself. Bulgakov depicts two contrasting locations in the novel, the communist (atheistic) center, which is Moscow, and a religious one, Jerusalem. By merging these two cities with his fantastic and realistic characters, Bulgakov revealed his own grotesque mastermind. The characters in the novel can be ugly and interesting, yet are often portrayed beautiful, especially in their actions: Woland, not necessarily evil Satan, Azazel, the mythological angel of death, the cat Behemoth, one of the biggest jokers in the world, at the same time capable of killing just like Azazel, Korovjov and Hella as well as the rest of the less violent characters. They are all part of a mighty force that creates chaos at Satan’s will. Bulgakov successfully unified all of these elements in his novel, where Satan is not depicted in a classical manner, but represents an ambivalent creature, not entirely or inherently evil. In this case, Satan plays just a tiny role in this big mechanism that makes the world go round.
