While reading tonight, I found the magic act that his assistant and the tom cat act out pretty hilarious. I really do not understand the author's choice of using the same person's name in 5 different ways. It has made it more confusing than helpful, but I love the characters. Going back to the magic act in chapter twelve, I was very disturbed. We get a graphic image of Bengalsky's head being ripped off. I am starting to think Bulgakov has a thing for decapitation. In this scene though, was the first time I really saw how evil the tom cat is. We see him being mischievous throughout, but not until now do we see how dark Woland, the assistant, and the tom cat really are. I am currently not too fond of this book, but it is one of those books you just cannot put down at the same time.
I commented on Sierra's post.
I also love how this scene show us the darkness of these devilish characters.
