I recently finished reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, and I was blown away by its unique mix of fantasy, romance, and political satire. Despite being considered a classic, it feels like it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves in contemporary discussions.
The novel's portrayal of the Devil visiting the atheistic Soviet Union is both darkly humorous and deeply philosophical. I found the interplay between the fantastical elements and the very real political commentary fascinating. The characters, especially Woland and Margarita, left a lasting impression on me.
What did you think about the way Bulgakov blends these genres? Did any particular scenes or characters stand out to you? How do you interpret the novel's message about good, evil, and the power of art?
Looking forward to hearing your insights and having a great discussion!

The way the devils followers are portrayed are very interesting, their features and how they present themselves are very unique. I think the its subtle connotations of the power and persistence of love were the most important parts of the story.
