After reading the first chapter of The Master and Margarita I am very intrigued. I have very much enjoyed getting to know the first three characters that are all so different from each other. The stranger, like many other people, is one of my favorite characters. He is so mischievous and brilliant. He gets so excited when the other two men, Homeless and Berlioz, do not believe in God or Jesus. At the end of the chapter the stranger tells these men that Jesus does exist and that there is no proof of his existence, he just exists. I am curious to see where Mikhail Bulgakov goes with this tale and hope it continues to be as interesting as the first chapter.
P.S. I commented on Travis Carr's Post.
I am with you one hundred percent.
ReplyDeleteThe first chapter did a brilliant job of setting the stage. The foreigner caught my attention as well. He is definitely humorous, but I am curious to see if he stays comical. Chapter two is still very interesting, but I am waiting to see what Bulgakov has in store for us!
