Fantasy, dystopia and satire in the story "heart of a Dog"
Mikhail Bulgakov in his novel "Dog's Heart" combines fantasy elements, social dystopia and satire.
Fiction is an amazing operation, which was conducted by Philip Philipovich. However, the author used it only to highlight and to warn of the problems of contemporary society. Dog Ball, after the operation became a Polygraph Polygraphovich, fully adopted the character traits of the human donor, whose brain had been transplanted. Polygraph Polygraphovich received from the alcoholic Klim Chugunkin all social norms, and immorality. It is clear that the education of the newly "human" has become a problem, because the Professor of Transfiguration – educated intellectual.
Such moral and intellectual development of the person immediately enters into a confrontation with Him, a bright representative of socialism. Philip Philipovich underlines the futility of the new socialist government: "In the bedroom to eat... in a lookout to read in the waiting room to get dressed, operate in the maid's room and the dining room to see...". Between Him and the Professor even more aggravate the situation, after a mention of the new tenant of the apartment Transfiguration. For, by nature disgusting, ball has also been influenced by Shvonder.
The result of a socialist education ball was much more effective than trying Preobrazhensky and his assistant to teach morals this creature.
Philip Philipovich I am absolutely sure that what is happening around the doldrums guilty underdeveloped morally and mentally ordinary people. In turn, socialism so close to the animal nature of Polygraph Polygraphovich obtained from the donor that it is not difficult to find in the socialist regime of the Soviet power.
And socialism itself is ridiculed with satire, clearly emphasizing the problems of this ideology.
Despite the fantastic nature of the story, it quite accurately reflects the problems of the time, and it concerns not only recognizable attributes. The city itself, the characters, the life, the scene is very conducive to immersion in the story. This is a fantastic story, but so well displays the actual problems of the society.
