El maestro y Margarita

The fantastical elements feel so woven into the fabric of Moscow's reality. I wonder what Bulgakov wanted to say about power and oppression through these surreal scenes.

The philosophical debates felt profound but also made me question how historical and religious figures are reinterpreted. How did others interpret these moral questions?

The structure felt both intricate and poetic, but I'm curious whether Bulgakov planned these narratives from the start or if they evolved during writing.
