The Master and Margarita continues to provide me with an abstract cinematographic mental movie that seems like spaghetti covering an entire plate. Many storylines interweave and themes intertwine with one another like noodles, which cover an entire visual plate. As the story progresses, it is like Bulgakov is taking another bite of spaghetti, which reveals more of the plate, but that portion being removed also remains tangled with the rest of the novel, invoking a sense of mystery, as the amount that will be intertwined is unknown. I feel like the book will make sense once every noodle of a story, and every drop of detail sauce has been removed. To see the final story unveiled will be exciting, as, even though it has confused me, I have thoroughly enjoyed the novel up to the point that I have read to.
I commented on Jeremy's post.
I find that to be a very good analogy for this novel.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and true picture of how this novel reads! I can't wait to- as is customary in the South- clear my plate and see the full dish. Thanks for that analogy; I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat analogy is absolutely perfect! I also read books and visualize a mental movie of what's going on. I love these types of stories that have so much depth where everything and everyone is intertwined even if the characters themselves don't know it.
