The Master experiences writer’s block and depression as a result of the literary establishment’s skepticism and rejection of his novel about Pontius Pilate. The connection between the Master, a struggling author, and Margarita, his loving muse, is another significant focus of the book. Bulgakov criticizes both the importance of religion in influencing people’s lives and the brutality and injustice of political authority via the lens of this tale. The Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, and his confrontation with Yeshua Ha-Nozri is one of the novel’s main plotlines (Jesus Christ). Woland stirs up mayhem in the metropolis, revealing the moral decay and dishonesty of Soviet society. ![]() The tale, which blends fantasy, comedy, and social commentary, centers on the exploits of the Devil, who enters Moscow in the guise of Professor Woland, and his band of cunning goons.
