It's fascinating, I think, that the main female character, the person we are supposed to sympathise with (and do, I think) gets so strongly involved in what is pretty bad stuff at the ball, and yet she comes away with an aura of purity.

It's very clever.


I was thinking the same thing. An initial hesitance to associating with the Unholy Trinity is quickly dropped, which leads to a Satanic baptism and then the ball. More interesting still is Bulgakov making Woland's counterpart God, rather than Gabriel. I need to read Faust, and a couple of other things, before I reread M&M.
