Rdrama Bookclub Discussion Thread #1 :marseyreading:. “The Master and Margarita” Chap. 1-7

Unable to load image

Greetings dramacels and !bookworms :marseywave2:

As promised, today we are holding our first bookclub discussion thread. We’ll be discussing the first 7 chapters of “The Master and Margarita”, written by the late Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov, set in Stalinist Moscow :marseystalin:.

I hope you have enjoyed these first chapters, I certainly did. Based on the numbers of pages read from chapters 1-7, next week discussion will be about chapters 8-17.

I know it was supposed to be at noon E.T. However I’m posting a bit early because I’m off for a family lunch in half an hour, and I don’t want to longpost there.

Have fun with the discussion!

I quite enjoyed the opening, and the way they were trying to figure out his nationality, Woland is a well-represented and mysterious devil, he seems to have come, not just to torment, but rather in a Faustian way claim his due for the actions of the Massolit degenerates. Men that rely and spout on about the workers revolution but live in luxury. This, of course is emphasized later when Riukhin literally says he belives nothing of what he writes, and that's he living a lie.

I like you guys' takes on the Pilates chapter... it perplexed to say the least. I don't feel i can cross-reference well-enough but this thread has certainly given new perspective. :marseydetective:

The wild goose-chase across Moscow was funny, and a good introduction to what could be called the 'Antagonists'. I quite enjoyed the seeming meaning behind the locations that were astrally-projected to him, the holy marriage, the icon and baptizing himself in the Jordan river. A test of faith?

That's all i have for now :)

“Please allow me to introduce myself

I’m a man of wealth and taste

I’ve been around for a long, long years

Stole million man's soul an faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made darn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate”
