Initially, the cult novel by M. A. Bulgakov was called "The Hoof of an Engineer" and even "The Black Magician". After that, it was already called "Master and Margarita". This was due to censorship, which did not allow "bold" and "anti-Soviet" names to pass through. It turns out that initially the novel was not about the Master and Margarita. They appeared only later to name a work after them that would have been missed by the censors.

Based on the above, we can draw a conclusion. Love in the novel is important as a theme, but it is not the main one, which is worth considering. Then a natural question arises. What is the work about? This idea excites many people. I think it's about the fairness of the punishment. It is associated with the image of Woland, which is the key in the work, allowing you to better understand the structure of the modern world. In this matter, the lord of darkness is assisted by his retinue, each representative of which is an interesting person endowed with certain qualities.

Woland brings evil only to those people who deserve it. He made the master and Margarita free, giving them a blessing, because these people were not as sinful as many others in Moscow. We see that Bulgakov's Woland is significantly different from Satan in the Bible, where he is represented as absolute evil. Even scientific papers were written about this, and it is quite interesting to get acquainted with the content of which.

We see Woland, who acted quite boldly. He chose people to make them realize their mistakes. Yes, some of them died. But let's not forget the scene in the variety show where people asked for a pardon for a man whose head was twisted off by a cat. Woland even liked it, because not all of them were spoiled. In this episode, we see an important point. It consists in the fact that in any situation it is possible and necessary to remain just and even merciful, so to speak, but Woland was just like that in the novel.

M. A. Bulgakov interpreted the image of this character in his own way. At the same time, it is worth noting that people can also see something of their own in the image of Woland, because he is multi-faceted, has his own philosophy, which he adheres to.
