The writing.

“Who told you that there is no true, true, eternal love in the world? ..” (Based on the novel by M.A. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita”)

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is a great Russian writer. His work has received well-deserved recognition and has become an integral part of our culture. Bulgakov's works are very popular these days. But these works have stood the test of time and now make a worthy contribution to today's life. Speaking about the writer's work, one cannot fail to mention his biography.
M.A. Bulgakov was born in 1891 in Kyiv in the family of a learned clergyman. The writer's mother and father honored the Christian commandments, which they also taught their son. Mikhail Afanasyevich conveys in his works everything that he learned in childhood from his parents. An example is the novel "The Master and Margarita", on which the author worked before last day own life. Bulgakov created this book, being sure of the impossibility of its lifetime publication. Now, the novel, published more than a quarter of a century after it was written, is known to the entire reading world. He brought the writer posthumous worldwide fame. Outstanding creative minds refer Bulgakov's work "Master and Margarita" to the top phenomena artistic culture twentieth century. This novel is multifaceted, which reflects romance and realism, painting and clairvoyance.
The main plot of the work is the "true, faithful, eternal love" of the Master and Margarita. Enmity, distrust of dissident people, envy reigns in the world that surrounds the Master and Margarita.
Master, main character Bulgakov's novel, creates a novel about Christ and Pilate. This hero is an unrecognized artist, and somewhere the interlocutor of the greats of this world, who is driven by a thirst for knowledge. He tries to penetrate into the depths of centuries in order to understand the eternal. Master is collective image a person striving to know the eternal laws of morality.
Once, while walking, the Master met his future beloved Margarita at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane. The heroine, whose name appears in the title of the novel, occupies a unique position in the structure of the work. Bulgakov himself describes her this way: “She was beautiful and smart. One more thing must be added to this - it can be said with certainty that many would give anything for exchanging their lives for the life of Margarita Nikolaevna.
Under random circumstances, the Master and Margarita met each other and fell in love so deeply that they became inseparable. “Ivan found out that part of him and secret wife already in the first days of their connection, they came to the conclusion that fate itself had pushed them together at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane and that they were bound for each other forever.
Margarita in the novel is the bearer of a huge, poetic, all-encompassing and inspired love, which the author called "eternal". She became beautiful way woman who loves. And the more unattractive, “boring, crooked” the lane where this love arises appears before us, the more unusual this feeling that flashed “lightning” turns out to be. Margarita, selflessly loving, overcomes the chaos of life. She creates her own destiny, fights for the Master, overcoming her own weaknesses. While attending a light full moon ball, Margarita saves the Master. Under the peals of a cleansing thunderstorm, their love passes into eternity.
When creating the novel The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov wanted to point out to us, his successors, not only the antithesis of good and evil, but, perhaps most importantly, that “eternal” love that exists both in the world of illusions and in reality.
Bulgakov's words in the second part of the novel make this clear: “Follow me, reader! Who told you that there is no real, true, eternal love? Let the liar cut out his vile tongue!
Behind me is my reader, and only behind me, and I will show you such love!”
And M. A. Bulgakov, indeed, showed and proved that such love exists.
The Master and Margarita is a complex work, not everything in it is comprehended. Readers are destined to understand this novel in their own way, to discover its values. Bulgakov wrote The Master and Margarita as a historically and psychologically reliable book about his time and its people, and therefore the novel became a unique human document of that era. And yet this work is turned to the future, is a book for all time.
The novel "The Master and Margarita" will remain in the history of Russian and world literature not only as evidence of the human resilience and citizenship of Bulgakov - the writer, not only as a hymn to the creative person - the Master, not only as the story of Margarita's unearthly love, but also as a grandiose monument to Moscow, which is now inevitably perceived by us in the light of this great work. This novel by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is a unique masterpiece of Russian literature.

Memoirs of the master about the meeting with Margarita

Marguerite's final monologue

Love... Probably, I will not be mistaken if I say that love is the most mysterious feeling on Earth. Why does one person suddenly realize that without the other he can no longer live, breathe? Why does this happen to each of us at least once in a lifetime? In any answer that can be given to this question, there will be an understatement. And having collected all these innuendos together, we get a secret - one of the most beautiful mysteries of this world. That is what I consider to be the main human relations. And, probably, this is not only my opinion - after all, there are so many books about love in the world! So different, happy and unhappy, joyful and bitter, flying in an instant and lasting forever. For some reason, I like to read about the eternal and true love which makes everything common to people - both life and death. Maybe you just want to believe that there is at least something bright left in the world. And this faith gives me the novel by M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita".

Probably a lot of people love this book. After all, it is so multifaceted that everyone can find something of their own in it. One is interested in the adventures of Koroviev and Behemoth, the other is interested in the Yershalaim chapters, and the third is in philosophical overtones. And the story of Margarita attracts me most of all.

Before meeting the Master, Margarita lived a boring, lonely and prosperous life. Probably, it cannot even be said that Margarita was unhappy: after all, a person who has not known happiness is not aware of his misfortune. But there was a break in her life. It is no coincidence that when the Master sees Margarita for the first time, she carries disturbing yellow flowers, in the eyes of her loneliness. These flowers, as it were, portend a future tragedy. And an unexpected meeting with the Master changes Margarita's whole life. Everything in the world suddenly makes sense, life plays bright colors both for Margarita and for the Master. Her breath merges with his breath, and in this unity is born best work The Masters is his novel about Pontius Pilate. Margarita becomes his devoted reader - the muse of her lover. It seems to me that for Margarita everything that happens has a price much greater than for the Master. I don't mean to say that he didn't love her. But there was a lot in the Master's life. Although he was lonely, his life was filled with books, history, and a novel. And Margarita had nothing before the Master. But perhaps this loneliness somehow hardened her, made her soul stronger.

Bulgakov is trying to convey to us the idea of ​​what to understand true love and beauty is impossible without knowing hatred and ugliness. Perhaps it is to evil and suffering that we owe the fact that in comparison with them we know goodness and love.

Let's see what happens to the Master and Margarita after the disaster. Yes, the Master had a hard time, but it was not easier for Margarita either. She got a terrible torture of uncertainty about what happened to her lover. And here we see how much strength this woman has in despair. She has not forgotten him. She blames herself for what happened, but at the same time, to the last, she believes that something can change. Margarita agrees to sell her soul to the devil for the sole hope of learning something about the Master. And she rescues her lover from psychiatric clinic, cures madness and gives him eternal rest. At first glance, Woland did this, but everything would have been different if Margarita had not agreed to sacrifice herself.

Probably, here it is true and eternal love, when one person is ready to do everything for the sake of another. But it seems to me that in order to understand Margarita's selflessness, it is important that Woland says about Pontius Pilate and the only creature next to him - the dog: "... he who loves must share the fate of the one he loves." So Margarita must share the fate of the Master. He gets what he dreamed of all his life, and Margarita follows him. Maybe it's not really her dream. Most likely, the most important thing for her is just to be with the Master. But will a person be happy, completely dissolved in another? I still cannot answer this question unambiguously. But I am sure that it is necessary not only to take, but also to give. Give yourself, your thoughts, feelings, your soul. To truly love means to love not for yourself, not for your own benefit, but only for the one you love. Maybe then such a beautiful ideal of love as Margarita's love for the Master will become possible not only in the novel, but also in life.

"Who told you that there is no

real, faithful, eternal love ... "

(based on the work of M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" and A.I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet")

Introduction

Love... Probably, I will not be mistaken if I say that love is the most mysterious feeling on Earth. Why does one person suddenly realize that without the other he can no longer live, breathe? Why does this happen to each of us at least once in a lifetime? In any answer that can be given to this question, there will be an understatement. And putting all these innuendos together, we get a secret - one of the most beautiful secrets of this world. That is what I consider to be the main thing in human relations. And, probably, this is not only my opinion - after all, there are so many books about love in the world!

Sometimes it seems that everything has been said about love in world literature. What can be said about love after Shakespeare's story of Romeo and Juliet, after Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, after Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina? You can continue this list of creations that sang the tragedy of love. But love has a thousand shades, and each of its manifestations has its own holiness, its own sadness, its own break and its own fragrance. So different, happy and unhappy, joyful and bitter, flying in an instant and lasting forever.

For some reason, I like to read most of all about true, sublime pure love, which makes everything common for people - both life and death. Maybe you just want to believe that there is at least something bright left in the world. And this faith gives me the novel by M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" and the story by A.I. Kuprin " Garnet bracelet».

I want to talk about the love that A. I. Kuprin and M. A. Bulgakov reveal to us in their work.

Kuprin can be called a singer of sublime love. Flipping through the pages of his works, the reader is immersed in wonderful world his heroes. All of them are very different, but there is something in them that makes you empathize with them, rejoice and grieve with them. Protesting against the vulgarity and cynicism of bourgeois society, corrupt feelings, manifestations of animal instincts, the writer is looking for examples of ideal love that are amazing in beauty and strength. His characters are people open mind and with a pure heart, rebelling against the humiliation of man, trying to defend human dignity.

The story "Garnet Bracelet" is a confirmation of what Kuprin is looking for in real life people "obsessed" with a high sense of love, able to rise above those around them, above vulgarity and lack of spirituality, ready to give everything without demanding anything in return. The writer sings of sublime love, contrasting it with hatred, enmity, mistrust, antipathy, indifference. Through the mouth of General Anosov, he says that this feeling should not be either frivolous or primitive, and, moreover, based on profit and self-interest: “Love should be a tragedy. The greatest secret in the world! touch".

Love, according to Kuprin, should be based on lofty feelings, on mutual respect, honesty and truthfulness. She must strive for perfection.

That is why one of the most fragrant and languishing works about love - and, perhaps, the saddest - is the story of A. I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet". In it, the true romantic Kuprin deifies love. Each word here glows, shimmers, sparkling with a precious cut. Love to self-destruction, the willingness to die in the name of the beloved woman - this is the theme that is fully revealed in this story.

Bulgakov associates the feeling of love with fidelity and eternity. Remember the words with which the second part, chapter 19, begins? They will still sound today.

The novel "The Master and Margarita" is a very complex work. A lot has already been said about him, but believe me, even more will be said, a lot more will be thought about, a lot will be written about The Master and Margarita.

“Manuscripts do not burn,” one of the characters in the novel says. Bulgakov tries to burn his manuscript, but this does not bring him relief. The novel continued to live. The master remembered it by heart. The manuscript has been restored. After the death of the writer, she came to us and soon found readers in all countries of the world.

Now Bulgakov's work has received well-deserved recognition, has become an integral part of our culture. However, far from everything is still comprehended and mastered. Readers of the novel are destined to understand his creation in their own way and discover new values ​​lurking in the depths.

The novel is also not easy because it requires its reader to go beyond the limits of everyday worldly ideas and information. Else part artistic meanings the novel remains invisible, and some of its pages may seem nothing more than a product of the author's strange fantasy.

How to explain why I chose this topic of the essay? Love is the meaning of all life. Just think, can life exist without love? Of course not. Then it will no longer be life, but a banal existence.

Nowadays, such a rarity is sincere, pure love. As General Anosov said in "Garnet Bracelet": "Love that repeats only once in a thousand years." It is the kind of love that the Master and Margarita have, the telegraph operator Zheltkov. For them, love is a real, all-forgiving feeling. Therefore, I want to study these works more deeply, to see their features.

The purpose of this work - to study the theme of love in the story of A. I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet" and in the novel by M. A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita"

Main part

The theme of love in the story of A. I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet"

Unrequited love does not humiliate a person, but elevates him.

Pushkin, Alexander Sergeyevich

According to many researchers, “everything is masterfully written in this story, starting with its title. The title itself is surprisingly poetic and sonorous. It sounds like a line of a poem written in iambic trimeter.

The story is based on real case. In a letter to the editor of the journal “The World of God” F. D. Batyushkov, Kuprin wrote in October 1910: “Do you remember this? - the sad story of a small telegraph official P.P. Zholtikov, who was hopelessly, touchingly and selflessly in love with Lyubimov's wife (D.N. is now the governor in Vilna). So far I have just come up with an epigraph…” (L. Van Beethoven. Son No. 2, op. 2. Largo Appassionato). Although the work is based on real events, the ending of the story - Zheltkov's suicide - is the creative conjecture of the writer. Kuprin did not accidentally complete his story tragic ending, he needed it to more strongly shade the power of Zheltkov's love for a woman almost unfamiliar to him - a love that happens "once in a thousand years."

Work on the story greatly influenced the state of mind of Alexander Ivanovich. “Recently I told a good actress,” he wrote in a letter to F. D. Batyushkov in December 1910, “I’m crying about the plot of my work, I’ll say one thing, that I haven’t written anything more chaste yet.”

The main character of the story is Princess Vera Nikolaevna Sheina. The action of the story takes place in the Black Sea resort in the fall, namely on September 17 - on the name day of Vera Nikolaevna.

The first chapter is an introduction, whose task was to prepare the reader for the desired perception of subsequent events. Kuprin describes nature. In it, Kuprin has a lot of sounds, colors, and especially smells. The landscape is highly emotional and unlike anyone else's. Thanks to the description of the autumn landscape with its deserted dachas and flower beds, you feel the inevitability of the withering of the surrounding nature, the withering of the world. Kuprin draws a parallel between the description of the autumn garden and the internal state main character: a chilly autumn landscape of fading nature is similar in essence to the mood of Vera Nikolaevna Sheina. According to him, we predict her calm, impregnable character. Nothing attracts her in this life, perhaps that is why the brightness of her being is enslaved by routine and dullness.

The author describes the main character as follows: “... she went to her mother, a beautiful Englishwoman, with her tall flexible figure, gentle, but cold and proud face, beautiful, although rather big hands, and that charming sloping of the shoulders, which can be seen in old miniatures ... ". Vera could not be imbued with a sense of beauty to the world around her. She was not a natural romantic. And, seeing something out of the ordinary, some peculiarity, I tried (albeit involuntarily) to ground it, to compare it with the outside world. Her life flowed slowly, measuredly, quietly, and, it would seem, satisfied the principles of life, without going beyond them.

The husband of Vera Nikolaevna was Prince Vasily Lvovich Shein. He was the leader of the nobility. Vera Nikolaevna married the prince, an exemplary, quiet person like herself. Vera Nikolaevna's former passionate love for her husband turned into a strong, faithful, true friendship. Spouses, despite their high position in society, barely made ends meet. Since she had to live above her means, Vera, imperceptibly for her husband, saved money, remaining worthy of her title.

On the day of the name day, her closest friends come to Vera. According to Kuprin, "Vera Nikolaevna Sheina always expected something happy, wonderful from the name day." Her younger sister, Anna Nikolaevna Friesse, arrived first. On her name day, she presented Vera with a small notebook in an amazing binding as a gift. Vera Nikolaevna liked the gift very much. As for Vera's husband, he gave her earrings made of pear-shaped pearls.

The guests arrive in the evening. All actors, with the exception of Zheltkov, the main character in love with Princess Sheina, Kuprin gathers the Shein family at the dacha. The princess receives expensive gifts from the guests. The name day celebration was fun until Vera notices that there are thirteen guests. Since she was superstitious, this alarms her. But so far, there are no signs of trouble.

Among the guests, Kuprin singles out the old General Anosov, a comrade-in-arms of the father of Vera and Anna. The author describes him as follows: “A fat, tall, silver old man, he was heavily climbing off the footboard ... He had a large, rough, red face with a fleshy nose and with that good-natured, majestic, slightly contemptuous expression in his narrowed eyes ... which is characteristic of courageous and ordinary people…”

Also present at the name day was Vera's brother, Nikolai Nikolaevich Mirza-Bulat-Tuganovsky. He always defended his opinion and was ready to stand up for his family.

Traditionally, the guests played poker. Vera did not join the game: she was called by the maid, who handed her a bundle. Unfolding the bundle, Vera discovers a case containing a gold bracelet with stones and a note “...golden, low-grade, very thick ... on the outside, all completely covered with ... grenades” bracelet. It looks like a tasteless trinket next to the expensive elegant gifts that guests gave her. The note tells about the bracelet, that it is a family jewel with magical powers, and that it is the most expensive thing that the donor has. At the end of the letter were the initials G.S.Zh., and Vera realized that this was the secret admirer who had been writing to her for seven years. This bracelet becomes a symbol of his hopeless, enthusiastic, selfless, reverent love. Thus, this person is somehow trying to connect himself with Vera Nikolaevna. It was enough for him only that her hands touched his gift.

Looking at the thick red grenades, Vera felt alarmed, she felt something unpleasant approaching, she saw some kind of omen in this bracelet. It is no coincidence that she immediately compares these red stones with blood: “Just like blood!” she exclaims. The tranquility of Vera Nikolaevna was disturbed. Vera considered Zheltkov "unfortunate", she could not understand the tragedy of this love. The expression "happy unhappy person" turned out to be somewhat contradictory. Indeed, in his feeling for Vera, Zheltkov experienced happiness.

Until the guests leave, Vera decides not to talk about the gift to her husband. Meanwhile, her husband entertains guests with stories in which there is very little truth. Among them is a story about an unfortunate lover in Vera Nikolaevna, who allegedly sent passionate letters to her every day, and then became a monk, after dying, bequeathed to Vera two buttons and a bottle of perfume with his tears.

And only now we learn about Zheltkov, despite the fact that he is the main character. None of the guests has ever seen him, does not know his name, only it is known (judging by the letters) that he serves as a petty official and in some mysterious way always knows where he is and what Vera Nikolaevna is doing. Almost nothing is said about Zheltkov himself in the story. We learn about it thanks to small details. But even these minor details used by the author in his narrative testify to a lot. We understand that inner world this extraordinary man was very, very rich. This man was not like the others, he was not mired in a miserable and dull everyday life, his soul aspired to the beautiful and sublime.

Evening comes. Many guests are leaving, leaving General Anosov, who talks about his life. He recalls his love story, which he will remember forever - short and simple, which, in retelling, seems like just a vulgar adventure of an army officer. “I don’t see true love. And I didn’t see it in my time!” - says the general and gives examples of ordinary, obscene unions of people concluded for one reason or another. “Where is the love? Love disinterested, selfless, not waiting for a reward? The one about which it is said - “strong as death”? .. Love should be a tragedy. The greatest secret in the world! No comforts of life, calculations and compromises should concern her.” It was Anosov who formulated the main idea of ​​the story: "Love must be ..." and to some extent expressed Kuprin's opinion.

Anosov talks about tragic cases similar to such love. The conversation about love led Anosov to the story of a telegrapher. At first he suggested that Zheltkov was a maniac, and only then he decided that Zheltkov’s love was real: “... maybe your life path, Vera, crossed exactly the kind of love that women dream of and that men are no longer capable of.

When only Vera's husband and brother remained in the house, she spoke about Zheltkov's gift. Vasily Lvovich and Nikolai Nikolaevich treated Zheltkov's gift extremely dismissively, laughed at his letters, mocked his feelings. The garnet bracelet causes stormy indignation in Nikolai Nikolaevich, it is worth noting that he was extremely annoyed by the act of the young official, and Vasily Lvovich, by virtue of his character, took it more calmly.

Nikolai Nikolaevich is worried about Vera. He does not believe in Zheltkov's pure, platonic love, suspecting him of the most vulgar adultery (adultery, adultery). If she accepted the gift, Zheltkov would brag to his friends, he could hope for something more, he would give her expensive gifts: "... a ring with diamonds, a pearl necklace ...", wasting government money, and subsequently everything could end court, where the Sheins would be called as witnesses. The Shein family would have fallen into a ridiculous position, their name would have been disgraced.

Vera herself did not give letters special meaning, did not have feelings for her mysterious admirer. She was somewhat flattered by his attention. Vera thought that Zheltkov's letters were just an innocent joke. She does not attach the same importance to them that her brother Nikolai Nikolayevich does.

Husband and brother of Vera Nikolaevna decide to give a gift secret admirer and ask him never to write to Vera again, to forget about her forever. But how to do this if they did not know either the name, or the surname, or the address of the admirer of the Faith? Nikolai Nikolaevich and Vasily Lvovich find a fan by their initials in the lists of city employees. Now they become aware that the mysterious G.S.Zh. is a petty official Georgy Zheltkov. Vera's brother and husband go to his house for an important conversation with Zheltkov, who subsequently decides the whole fate of Georgy.

Zheltkov lived under a roof in one poor house: “The spit-stained staircase smelled of mice, cats, kerosene and washing ... The room was very low, but very wide and long, almost square in shape. Two round windows, quite similar to ship portholes, barely illuminated her. Yes, and all of it was similar to the wardroom of a cargo steamer. Along one wall stood a narrow bed, along the other a very large and wide sofa, covered with a tattered beautiful Teke carpet, in the middle - a table covered with a colored Little Russian tablecloth. So accurate detailed description The atmosphere in which Zheltkov lives, Kuprin notes for a reason, the author shows the inequality between Princess Vera and the petty official Zheltkov. Between them there are insurmountable social barriers and barriers of class inequality. It is different social status and Vera's marriage make Zheltkov's love unrequited.

Kuprin develops the theme of the “little man”, traditional for Russian literature. Official with funny last name Zheltkov, quiet and inconspicuous, not only grows into a tragic hero, he, by the power of his love, rises above petty fuss, life's conveniences, decency. He turns out to be a man in no way inferior in nobility to aristocrats. Love lifted him up. Love gives Zheltkov "tremendous happiness." Love has become suffering, the only meaning of life. Zheltkov did not demand anything for his love, his letters to the princess were just a desire to speak out, to convey his feelings to his beloved being.

Once in Zheltkov's room, finally, Nikolai Nikolaevich and Vasily Lvovich see Vera's admirer. The author describes him as follows: “... he was tall, thin, with long fluffy, soft hair ... very pale, with a gentle girlish face, blue eyes and a stubborn childish chin with a dimple in the middle; he must have been about thirty, thirty-five…” Zheltkov, as soon as Nikolai Nikolaevich and Vasily Lvovich introduced themselves, became very nervous and frightened, but after a while he calmed down. The men return Zheltkov his bracelet with a request not to repeat such things again. Zheltkov himself understands and admits that he did something stupid by sending Vera a garnet bracelet.

Zheltkov confesses to Vasily Lvovich that he has been in love with his wife for seven years. Vera Nikolaevna, by some whim of fate, once seemed to Zheltkov an amazing, completely unearthly creature. And a strong, vivid feeling flared up in his heart. He was always at some distance from his beloved, and, obviously, this distance contributed to the strength of his passion. He could not forget the beautiful image of the princess, and he was not at all stopped by the indifference on the part of his beloved.

Nikolai Nikolaevich gives Zheltkov two options for further action: either he forever forgets Vera and never writes to her again, or, if he does not give up the persecution, measures will be taken against him. Zheltkov asks to call Vera to say goodbye to her. Although Nikolai Nikolaevich was against the call, Prince Shein allowed it to be done. But the conversation did not go well: Vera Nikolaevna did not want to talk to Zheltkov. Returning to the room, Zheltkov looked upset, his eyes were filled with tears. He asked permission to write a farewell letter to Vera, after which he would disappear from their lives forever, and again Prince Shein allowed this to be done.

The close princesses of Vera recognized Zheltkovo as a noble person: brother Nikolai Nikolaevich: “I immediately guessed a noble person in you”; husband Prince Vasily Lvovich: "this man is incapable of deceiving and lying knowingly."

Returning home, Vasily Lvovich tells Vera in detail about the meeting with Zheltkov. She was alarmed and uttered the following phrase: "I know that this man will kill himself." Vera already had a premonition of the tragic outcome of this situation.

The next morning, Vera Nikolaevna reads in the newspaper that Zheltkov committed suicide. The newspaper wrote that the death occurred due to the waste of public money. So the suicide wrote in a posthumous letter.

Throughout the story, Kuprin is trying to inspire readers with “the concept of love on the verge of life”, and he does this through Zheltkov, for him love is life, therefore, there is no love - there is no life. And when Vera's husband persistently asks to stop love, his life also stops. But is love worthy of losing life, losing everything that can be in the world? Everyone must answer this question for himself - does he want this, what is more precious to him - life or love? Zheltkov answered: love. Well, what about the price of life, because life is the most precious thing we have, it is we who are so afraid of losing it, and on the other hand, love is the meaning of our life, without which it will not be life, but will be an empty sound. I involuntarily recall the words of I. S. Turgenev: “Love ... is stronger than death and the fear of death.”

Zheltkov complied with Vera's request to "stop this whole story" in the only way possible for him. That same evening, Vera receives a letter from Zheltkov.

Here is what the letter said: “... It so happened that nothing interests me in life: neither politics, nor science, nor philosophy, nor concern for the future happiness of people - for me, my whole life lies only in you ... My love is not a disease , not a manic idea, this is a reward from God... If you ever think of me, then play the L. van Beethoven sonata. Son No. 2, op. 2. Largo Appassionato ... "Zheltkov also deified his beloved in a letter, his prayer was addressed to her:" May your name". However, with all this, Princess Vera was an ordinary earthly woman. So her deification is a figment of the imagination of poor Zheltkov.

With all his desire, he could not be in control of his soul, in which too great place took the form of a princess. Zheltkov idealized his beloved, he did not know anything about her, therefore he painted in his imagination a completely unearthly image. And this also shows the eccentricity of his nature. His love could not be discredited, tarnished precisely because it was too far from real life. Zheltkov never met his beloved, his feelings remained a mirage, they were not connected with reality. And in this regard, the enamored Zheltkov appears before the reader as a dreamer, romantic and idealist out of touch with life.

He endowed best qualities a woman about whom he knew absolutely nothing. Perhaps if fate had given Zheltkov at least one meeting with the princess, he would have changed his mind about her. At the very least, she would not seem to him an ideal being, absolutely devoid of flaws. But, alas, the meeting was impossible.

Anosov said: “Love must be a tragedy ...”, if you approach love with just such a measure, then it becomes clear that Zheltkov’s love is just that. He easily puts his feelings for the beautiful princess above all else. In essence, life itself has no special value for Zheltkov. And, probably, the reason for this is the lack of demand for his love, because the life of Mr. Zheltkov is not decorated with anything other than feelings for the princess. At the same time, the princess herself lives a completely different life, in which there is no place for the enamored Zheltkov. And she does not want the flow of these letters to continue. The princess is not interested in her unknown admirer She is fine without him. All the more surprising and even strange is Zheltkov, who consciously cultivates his passion for Vera Nikolaevna.

Can Zheltkov be called a sufferer who lived his life uselessly, giving himself up as a victim of some amazing soulless love? On the one hand, he appears to be just that. He was ready to give his life to his beloved, but no one needed such a sacrifice. The garnet bracelet itself is a detail that even more clearly emphasizes the entire tragedy of this man. He is ready to part with a family heirloom, an ornament that is inherited by the women of his family. Zheltkov is ready to give the only jewel to a completely stranger woman, and she did not need this gift at all.

Can Zheltkov's feelings for Vera Nikolaevna be called madness? Prince Shein answers this question in the book: “... I feel that I am present at some huge tragedy of the soul, and I cannot play around here ... I will say that he loved you, but was not at all crazy ... ". And I agree with his opinion.

Zheltkov ended his life on the orders of Tuganovsky, thereby blessing his beloved woman. Leaving forever, he thought that Vera's path would become free, her life would improve and go on as before. But there is no way back.

The psychological climax of the story is Vera's farewell to the deceased Zheltkov, their only "date" - a turning point in her life. internal state. On the face of the deceased, she read “deep importance, as if before parting with life he had learned some deep and sweet secret that resolved his whole human life”, “blissful and serene” smile, “peace”. “At that moment, she realized that the love that every woman dreams of has passed her by.” At that moment, the power of love reached its maximum value, became equal to death.

Eight years of bad, selfless love, demanding nothing in return, eight years of devotion to a sweet ideal, selflessness from one's own principles. In one short moment of happiness, sacrificing everything accumulated over such a long period of time is not for everyone. But Zheltkov's love for Vera did not obey any models, she was above them. And even if her end turned out to be tragic, Zheltkov's forgiveness was rewarded. The crystal palace in which Vera lived was shattered, letting in a lot of light, warmth, sincerity into life. Merging in the finale with the music of Beethoven, it merges with both Zheltkov's love and eternal memory about him. I so wish that this tale of all-forgiving and strong love, created by I. A. Kuprin, penetrated into our monotonous life. I so wish that cruel reality could never defeat our sincere feelings, our love. We must multiply it, be proud of it. Love, true love, must be studied diligently, as the most painstaking science. However, love does not come if you wait for its appearance every minute, and at the same time, it does not flare up out of nothing, but it is impossible to extinguish strong, true love. She, different in all manifestations, is not a model of life traditions, but rather an exception to the rules. And yet, a person needs love for purification, for acquiring the meaning of life. A loving person is capable of sacrifice for the sake of peace and happiness of a loved one. And yet he is happy. We must bring to love all the best that we feel, that we are proud of. And then bright sun will surely illuminate it, and even the most ordinary love will become sacred, merging into one with eternity.

Obviously, by the death of the hero, Kuprin wanted to express his attitude towards his love. Zheltkov, of course, is a unique person, very special. Therefore, it is very difficult for him to live among ordinary people. It turns out that there is no place for him on this earth. And this is his tragedy, and not his fault at all.

Of course, his love can be called a unique, wonderful, amazingly beautiful phenomenon. Yes, such unselfish and surprisingly pure love is very rare. But still, it's good that it happens this way. After all, such love goes hand in hand with tragedy, it breaks a person's life. And the beauty of the soul remains unclaimed, no one knows about it and does not notice it.

When Princess Sheina came home, she fulfills Zheltkov's last wish. She asks her pianist friend Jenny Reiter to play something for her. Vera has no doubt that the pianist will perform exactly the place in the sonata that Zheltkov asked for. Her thoughts and music merged into one, and she heard as if the verses ended with the words: "Hallowed be thy name."

Kuprin does not give any assessments and moralizing. The writer only conveys a beautiful and sad love story. The souls of the heroes woke up in response to great love, And this is the main point.

Yet he forgave her. And this is the main point. “... he has forgiven me now. Everything is fine".

The theme of love in the novel by M. A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita"

Oh, how deadly we love, As in the violent blindness of passions, We most certainly destroy what is dear to our heart!

F.I. Tyutchev

Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is a great Russian writer. His work has received well-deserved recognition and has become an integral part of our culture. Bulgakov's works are very popular these days. They have stood the test of time and are now making a worthy contribution to today's life.

More than sixty years have passed since the death of the great M. Bulgakov. Writer's tombstone Novodevichy cemetery became a stone from the grave of his beloved N.V. Gogol. Now it has two names on it. Next to her Master rests his Margarita, Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova. The author met her, oddly enough, in 1929. It was she who became the prototype of this most captivating female image in Russian literature of the 20th century and, I will not be afraid of this, today.

Meanwhile, the stone from Gogol's grave went deep into the ground, as if protecting M. Bulgakov and his Margarita from vanity and worldly hardships, preserving this all-conquering love. Love, about which Bulgakov wrote so great and multifaceted. He himself found it, true, faithful, eternal love.

The novel is written in such a way, “Like the author, feeling in advance that this is his last work, I wanted to put into it without a trace all the sharpness of my satirical eye, the unrestrained imagination, the power of psychological observation” (K. Simonov). This is a satirical novel, a novel about the essence of art and the fate of the artist. Here questions about eternal values ​​are raised: the question of good and evil, life and death, spirituality and lack of spirituality. But still, for me, this is primarily a novel, a novel about true, true, eternal love.

Despite the fact that the novels in most cases fully correspond to their title, and the theme of love becomes the main theme in them, in the novel The Master and Margarita the author touches on this topic only in the second part. It seems to me that Bulgakov does this in order to prepare the reader; for the author, love is not unambiguous, for him it is multifaceted.

In the novel, Bulgakov finds no place for hatred and despair. That hatred and revenge that Margarita is filled with, breaking windows of houses and drowning apartments, most likely not revenge, but cheerful hooliganism, the opportunity to fool around, which the Devil gives her.

The author of the novel, creating the main characters, endows them with extraordinary sensuality and hearts filled with love for each other, but he also separates them. He sends Woland, Satan, to help them. But why, it would seem, such a feeling as love helps devilry? Bulgakov does not divide this feeling into light or dark, does not attribute it to any category. This is an eternal feeling, love is the same power, the same "eternal" as life or death, as light or darkness. Love can be vicious, but it can also be divine, love in all its manifestations, first of all, remains love. Bulgakov calls true love true and eternal, but does not call it heavenly, divine or heavenly, he relates it to eternity, like heaven or hell.

All-forgiving and all-redeeming love is the love that Bulgakov writes about. Forgiveness overtakes everyone and everyone, inevitably, like fate: both the checkered gaer, known under the name of Koroviev - Fagot, and the young man, the page, who was the cat Behemoth, and the procurator of Judea - Pontius Pilate, and romantic master and his beloved. The writer shows his readers that earthly love is heavenly love, that appearance, clothes, era, time, place of life and place of eternity can change, but the love that overtook you once strikes you in the very heart and forever. And love remains the same in all times and in all eternities that we are destined to experience. She endows the heroes of the novel with the energy of forgiveness, the energy that Pontius Pilate yearns for in the novel of Master Yeshua and for which Pontius Pilate yearns for two thousand years. Bulgakov managed to penetrate into the human soul and saw that it is the place where earth and sky converge. And then the author invents a place of peace and immortality for loving and devoted hearts: “Here is your home, here is your eternal home,” says Margarita, and somewhere far away she is echoed by the voice of another poet who has passed this road to the end: Death and Time reign on earth, - You do not call them masters; All, whirling, disappear into the darkness, Motionless only the sun of love.

Love - it is she who gives the book mystery and originality. Poetic love, earthly, carnal and romantic love is the force that drives all the events of the novel. For her sake, everything changes and everything happens. Woland and his retinue bow before her, Yeshua looks at her from his light and admires her. Love at first sight, tragic and eternal like the world. It is this kind of love that the heroes of the novel receive as a gift, and it helps them survive and find eternal happiness, eternal peace.

The novel "The Master and Margarita" is multifaceted, which reflects romance and realism, painting and clairvoyance. But back to the plot.

The main plot of the work is the love of the Master and Margarita. Enmity, distrust of dissident people, envy reigns in the world that surrounds the Master and Margarita.

The master, the protagonist of Bulgakov's novel, creates a novel about Christ and Pilate. This hero is an unrecognized artist, and somewhere an interlocutor of the greats of this world, who is driven by a thirst for knowledge. He tries to penetrate into the depths of centuries in order to understand the eternal. The master is a collective image of a person striving to know the eternal laws of morality.

Once, while walking, he, the Master, met his future beloved Margarita at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane. Unlike the heroes of the Garnet Bracelet, the heroes of The Master and Margarita meet during their lifetime. It is no coincidence that when the Master sees Margarita for the first time, she carries alarming yellow flowers in her hands, loneliness in her eyes. These flowers, as it were, portend a future tragedy.

Before meeting the Master, Margarita was lonely. Why? What is missing in her life? After all, she has a young and handsome husband, who, moreover, adored his wife, lives in a beautiful mansion in one of the Arbat lanes, and does not need money. What did this woman need, in whose eyes some incomprehensible fire burned?

Margarita and Vera Nikolaevna are brought together by one thing - before meeting with the main men in their lives, they did not know the real feeling of love.

Before our eyes, a miracle happened, about which Bulgakov so vividly wrote "... I suddenly ... realized that I had loved this woman all my life!". Appearing as a sudden insight, instantly flashed love is stronger than everyday hardships, suffering, stronger than death. Unexpected meeting with the Master changes Margarita's whole life. Everything in the world suddenly makes sense, life plays with bright colors for both Margarita and the Master. Her breath merges with his breath, and in this unity the best work of the Master is born - his novel about Pontius Pilate.

This woman became not just the secret wife of the artist, but his Muse. She promised glory, urged him on, and that's when she began to call him the Master.

The heroine, whose name appears in the title of the novel, occupies a unique position in the structure of the work. Bulgakov himself describes her this way: “She was beautiful and smart. One more thing must be added to this, we can say with confidence that many would give anything to exchange their lives for the life of Margarita Nikolaevna.

Margarita in the novel is the bearer of a huge, poetic, all-encompassing and inspired love, which the author called eternal. She has become a beautiful image of a woman who loves. And the more unattractive, boring, crooked the lane where this love arises appears before us, the more unusual is this feeling that flashed like lightning. Margarita, selflessly loving, overcomes the chaos of life. She creates her own destiny, fights for the Master, overcoming her own weaknesses. While attending a light full moon ball, Margarita saves the Master. Under the peals of a cleansing thunderstorm, their love passes into eternity.

When creating the novel The Master and Margarita, Bulgakov wanted to point out to us, his successors, not only the antithesis of good and evil, but, perhaps most importantly, that eternal love that exists both in the world of illusions and in reality.

Bulgakov's words in the second part of the novel make it possible to clearly understand this: “Follow me, reader! Who told you that there is no true, true, eternal love in the world? Let the liar cut out his vile tongue! Behind me is my reader, and only behind me, and I will show you such love! And M. A. Bulgakov, indeed, showed and proved that such love exists.
Margarita had nothing before the Master. But perhaps this loneliness somehow hardened her, made her soul stronger. Bulgakov is trying to convey to us the idea that it is impossible to understand true love and beauty without knowing hatred and ugliness. Perhaps it is to evil and suffering that we owe the fact that in comparison with them we know goodness and love.

The master and Margarita felt good and calm together. But here comes the dark days, the written novel was subjected to fierce criticism. The love idyll ended, the struggle began. And it was Margarita who was ready for it. Neither bullying, nor a serious illness, nor the disappearance of a lover can extinguish love. Like Levi Matthew, she is ready to give up everything in order to follow the Master and, if necessary, die with him. Margarita is the only real reader of the novel about Pontius Pilate, his critic and defender.

For Bulgakov, loyalty in love and perseverance in creativity are phenomena of the same order. Moreover, Margarita turns out to be stronger than the master. She is unfamiliar with neither a sense of fear, nor confusion in front of life. “I believe,” the woman repeats this word all the time. For her love, she is ready to pay in full: “Oh, really, I would pledge my soul to the devil, just to find out if he is alive or not!”.

The devil was not long in coming. Azazello's miraculous cream, a flying mop and other attributes of a witch become in the novel symbols of spiritual liberation from a hated house, from an honest and kind, but such a strange husband, Margarita felt free from everything ... she leaves the mansion and her former life forever!

An entire chapter is devoted to the flight of Margarita. Fantasy, grotesque here reach the highest intensity. The ecstasy of flying over the fogs of the dewy world is replaced by quite realistic revenge on Latunsky. And the wild destruction of the hated critic's apartment is adjacent to the words of tenderness addressed to a four-year-old boy.

At Woland's ball, we meet the new Margarita, the all-powerful queen, a member of the satanic coven. And all this for the sake of a loved one. However, for Margarita, love is closely connected with mercy. Even after becoming a witch, she does not forget about others. For example, her first request for Frieda. Conquered by the nobility of a woman, Woland returns to her not only her beloved, but also a burnt romance, because true love and true creativity are not subject to either decay or fire.

Probably, here it is true and eternal love, when one person is ready to do everything for the sake of another. But it seems to me that in order to understand Margarita's selflessness, it is important that Woland says about Pontius Pilate and the only creature next to him - the dog: "... he who loves must share the fate of the one he loves." So Margarita must share the fate of the Master. He gets what he dreamed of all his life, and Margarita follows him. Maybe it's not really her dream. Most likely, the most important thing for her is just to be with the Master. But will a person be happy, completely dissolved in another? So far, I cannot answer this question unambiguously. But I am sure that it is necessary not only to take, but also to give. Give yourself, your thoughts, feelings, your soul. To truly love means to love not for yourself, not for your own benefit, but only for the one you love. Maybe then such a beautiful ideal of love as Margarita's love for the Master will become possible not only in the novel, but also in life.

Before the death of the main characters, we again see the lovers in their small apartment. Margarita quietly wept from the shock and happiness experienced. The notebook, warped by fire, lay in front of her.

But Bulgakov does not cook for his heroes happy ending. In a world where soullessness and lies triumph, there is no place for love or creativity.

It is interesting that in the novel there are two pictures of the death of lovers.
One of them is quite realistic, giving an accurate version of death. At the moment when the patient, placed in the 118th room of the Stravinsky clinic, died in his bed, at the other end of Moscow in gothic mansion Margarita Nikolaevna left her room, suddenly turned pale, clutched her heart and fell to the floor.

In terms of fantasy, our heroes drink Falerno wine and are transported to another world, where they are promised eternal rest. “Listen to the silence,” Margarita said to the Master, and the sand rustled under her bare feet, “listen and enjoy what you were not given in life, silence ... I will take care of your sleep.” Now in our memory they will forever remain together even after death.

We can clearly catch the similarity of the moment when the characters drink poison to free themselves with a fragment of Shakespeare's tragedy. Here and there lovers drink poison and die in each other's arms.

And again death. This motif dominates in both works under consideration. This is our harsh reality: in order to reunite with souls, one must leave the body. Margarita happily, like a burden, like old linen, throws off her body, leaving it to the purulent geeks who rule Moscow. Mustachioed and beardless, party and non-party.

The novel "The Master and Margarita" will remain in the history of Russian and world literature. This novel by Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is a unique masterpiece of Russian literature.

But let us mention one more obvious similarity. The master is “about 38 years old” - Bulgakov was 38 years old by May 1929, that is, by the time the first edition of the book was completed. Like the Master, Bulgakov burned the first edition of the novel.

The main characters of the Master and Margarita were united by a common feeling - the love that they found forever. It is love for the Master that illuminates the road leading Margarita to Woland. It is love that causes the respect of Woland and his retinue for this woman. The most powerless before love dark forces They either obey her or give way to her. And after that we will be able to say that there is no such true eternal love on Earth?

I so want to repeat these great words again and again: “Who told you that there is no real, true, eternal love in the world? Let the liar cut out his vile tongue! Follow me, my reader, and only me, and I will show you such love!

Conclusion

However, despite the sad ending, all the characters are happy. After all, they were visited by that great and very rare feeling, a feeling true love, one that "repeats only once in a thousand years."

The heroes suffered that real, eternal and true love that each of us has been waiting for all his life.

Love is forgiveness, even if it comes with the death of heroes.

It is these three ideas that unite the two great writers, Kuprin and Bulgakov, their great and touching works to the core.

The heroes received an exhaustive answer to the main question of our whole life, “What is love?”.

I so wish that this fairy tale about the all-forgiving and strong love, created by I. A. Kuprin and M. A. Bulgakov. I so wish that cruel reality could never defeat our sincere feelings, our love. We must multiply it, be proud of it. Love, true love, must be studied diligently, as the most painstaking science. However, love does not come if you wait for its appearance every minute, and at the same time, it does not flare up from nothing.

“Who told you that there is no true, true, eternal love in the world? ..” (Based on the novel by M. A. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita”)
Oh how deadly we love
As in the violent blindness of passions,
We are the most likely to destroy
What is dear to our heart!
F. I. Tyutchev
Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov is a great Russian writer. His work has received well-deserved recognition and has become an integral part of our culture. Bulgakov's works are very popular these days. But these works have stood the test of time and now make a worthy contribution to today's life. Speaking about the writer's work, one cannot fail to mention his biography.
M. A. Bulgakov was born in 1891 in Kyiv in the family of a learned clergyman. The writer's mother and father honored the Christian commandments, which they also taught their son. Mikhail Afanasyevich conveys in his works everything that he learned in childhood from his parents. An example is the novel "The Master and Margarita", on which the author worked until the last day of his life. Bulgakov created this book, being sure of the impossibility of its lifetime publication. Now, the novel, published more than a quarter of a century after it was written, is known to the entire reading world. He brought the writer posthumous worldwide fame. Outstanding creative minds refer Bulgakov's work "The Master and Margarita" to the top phenomena of the artistic culture of the twentieth century. This novel is multifaceted, which reflects romance and realism, painting and clairvoyance.
The main plot of the work is the “true, faithful, eternal love” of the Master and Margarita. Enmity, distrust of dissident people, envy reigns in the world that surrounds the Master and Margarita.
The master, the protagonist of Bulgakov's novel, creates a novel about Christ and Pilate. This hero is an unrecognized artist, and somewhere the interlocutor of the greats of this world, who is driven by a thirst for knowledge. He tries to penetrate into the depths of centuries in order to understand the eternal. The master is a collective image of a person striving to know the eternal laws of morality.
Once, while walking, the Master met his future beloved Margarita at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane. The heroine, whose name appears in the title of the novel, occupies a unique position in the structure of the work. Bulgakov himself describes her this way: “She was beautiful and smart. One more thing must be added to this - we can say with certainty that many would give anything to exchange their lives for the life of Margarita Nikolaevna.
Under random circumstances, the Master and Margarita met each other and fell in love so deeply that they became inseparable. “Ivan learned that part of him and his secret wife, already in the first days of their relationship, had come to the conclusion that fate itself had pushed them together at the corner of Tverskaya and the lane and that they were bound for each other forever.”
Margarita in the novel is the bearer of a huge, poetic, all-encompassing and inspired love, which the author called "eternal". She has become a beautiful image of a woman who loves. And the more unattractive, “boring, crooked” the lane where this love arises appears before us, the more unusual this feeling that flashed “lightning” turns out to be. Margarita, selflessly loving, overcomes the chaos of life. She creates her own destiny, fights for the Master, overcoming her own weaknesses.

Behind me is my reader, and only behind me, and I will show you such love!”
And M. A. Bulgakov, indeed, showed and proved that such love exists.
“The Master and Margarita” is a complex work, not everything is comprehended in it. Readers are destined to understand this novel in their own way, to discover its values.

And yet this work is turned to the future, is a book for all time.
