Satan

Today, after I read, I went back and looked over the last two weeks blogs. It was interesting to me to see our first views of this foreigner who's name started with "W". Woland brings out the side of Satan it is so easy to forget or repress. It's easy to see Satan as the horned red devil with a pointed tail. However, he is much more crafty and mischievous and dangerous. Just like in Master and Margarita Satan plays with truth. He uses truth to completely break Homeless. He uses truth to tempt Margarita. He also lures people with beautiful things. The food he offers the director the theater is delicious and appealing. The clothes and accessories are appealing to the eyes of the women in the audience at the theater. The list goes on. Satan is not obvious. He makes things appear pretty and important. He plays with desires - like Margarita's desire to see Master or people's desire for money. He seems like a friend - like with the manager of the bar at the theater. However, he has his own agenda and will follow it no matter the cost to others.
