With the seeming identity of female images in the heritage of world literature, it is almost impossible to forget some of the figures of women described on the pages of novels, stories or short stories. All facets of the female soul, covered with eternal mystery, shine and shimmer like diamonds on the lines of your favorite literary work. Loyalty and treachery, love and hate, passion and indifference run like a red thread through the souls of female characters.
One of the most striking female images of both Russian and world literature is undoubtedly the unique image of Margarita Nikolaevna, the heroine of Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita.
The image of the master was largely associated with M.A. Bulgakov. We can say that the Master is an autobiographical hero.
What predetermined the meeting of the Master and Margarita?
What is so special about this unique and believable portrait of a love-worn woman? Readers get acquainted with Margarita at the end of the second part of the novel, namely in the chapter "The Appearance of the Hero".
The master, rejected by critics and publishers, tells Ivan Bezdomny his life story full of tragedy and pain.
He was lucky once, he won a huge amount in the lottery, and after that his new life began. He began to create, to write the book of his life, which ruined him.
The Master's novel described the existence of Jesus Christ, differed from the biblical interpretation, and was generally written at the wrong time. Fearing censorship and punishment, the editors simply did not publish the novel, considering it propaganda and religious.
Everything would be bad in the life of the master - this unknown writer, if not for love. She, having struck like a Finnish knife, remained forever in the heart of the Master, who did not want to give his real name.
Margarita Nikolaevna, and that was the name of the beloved Master, embodied the standard of beauty for men and the object of envy for women. She was smart, pretty, educated...and unhappy.
Fast forward to the time of the novel. Poverty was the faithful companion of every woman who did not belong to the upper class. Primuses, mended stockings were something akin to an essential accessory.
What happened to Margaret? A good husband, excellent housing in a mansion, wealth in clothes. There was only love. She was looking for her with that rapture and hope with which a traveler tired in the desert is looking for an oasis with water.
And Margarita found her. Secretly from her husband, she began to meet with an unknown writer, who had recently worked in the library, and now was working on a novel about Pontius Pilate.
It seemed that the Master did not suit Margarita at all: he is poor, and she is rich, he is afraid to enter the world of literature, and her determination is enough for two. But it was real love, which, without a twinge of conscience, can be called eternal.
How does the image of Margarita differ from other female images?
First of all, there is no hostility towards her from her betrayal. Her love is so pure, and the sacrifice is so great that the reader begins to sympathize with her involuntarily.
A ball at Satan's, boundless fidelity to her beloved, a difficult test of morality and pity (remember the story of Frida) only elevate Margarita in the eyes of the reader. She was not afraid of living in poverty after the removal of the Master from the mental hospital.
She was ready, if only with her beloved master. Margarita cannot be accused of commercialism: she left without looking back a rich, prosperous life in the name of boundless love.
Let's compare Margarita with Anna Karenina: the latter was rather a slave of love, who only wanted to collect cream from her. Margarita is really fighting for her happiness. When she is closer to him than ever, she immediately leaves her husband. To the latter, she leaves a note with a hastily written explanation of her disappearance.
The image of Margarita is one of the brightest female images in literature. In it, a woman does not blindly believe in all the whims of fate, but truly fights for her happiness, not being afraid to contact Satan himself for the sake of the Master's return from a psychiatric hospital.
In this article, we will turn to the most famous novel by M. A. Bulgakov - "The Master and Margarita". The image of Margarita will interest us in the first place. It is to this heroine that we will try to give a detailed description and consider all the changes that occur to her throughout the work.
Margarita: common features
The heroine embodies the image of a loving and beloved woman who, for the sake of the chosen man, is ready to do anything, even make a deal with the devil. Margarita's age at the time of the meeting with the Master is 30 years old. Despite this, she has not lost her attractiveness and stature. Her character is a little impulsive, but this energy is like a breath of fresh air for the Master. Margarita supports and helps her beloved in everything, if not for her help, his novel would not have been created.
The heroine is connected with the love line of the novel. Her appearance in the narrative enlivens the work, endows it with lyricism and humanism.
Characteristics of Margarita
About how the heroine lived before meeting the Master, we learn only from her words. Her life was empty. On that day, she went outside with yellow flowers so that her beloved would finally find her, otherwise she would have been poisoned. This speaks of the meaninglessness of its existence, the absence of any desires and aspirations.
Margaret got married at the age of 19. Her chosen one was a respected and rich man. The couple lived in abundance, which any woman would be happy with: a beautiful house, no worries about life, a loving husband. However, she was not happy for a single day. She saw no meaning or purpose in her life.
The characterization of Margarita gives an idea of her as an outstanding woman who has little material wealth. Her soul needs emotions and real feelings. The mansion she lives in reminds her of a cage. She has a rich inner world, the breadth of her soul, so the philistine grayness that reigns around gradually kills her.
Bulgakov describes the heroine as an amazingly beautiful woman with lively, "slightly squinting" eyes that radiated with "unusual loneliness." Before meeting the Master, she was unhappy. A lot of warmth and energy accumulated in her heart, which she could not spend on anyone.
Love
The beloved of the Master and the woman whom he accidentally runs into on the street are completely different people. Margarita is transformed, her life finally has meaning - love for the Master, and the goal is to help him write a novel. All the spiritual energy accumulated in her is now directed to her beloved and his work. Never caring about everyday life and not knowing what a primus is, the heroine, entering the Master's house, immediately begins to cook dinner and wash the dishes. Surprisingly, even household chores brought her only joy if she was next to her beloved. Margarita appears to the reader as economic and caring. At the same time, the heroine manages to balance between the images of the muse of the writer and the caring wife.
Margarita perfectly understands and feels the Master, hence her empathy and love for his novel, which was gained by both of them. That is why the heroine reacts with such malice and hatred to the refusal to publish the novel and to critical reviews about it. From that moment on, rage towards the gray and petty world begins to accumulate in her, which will find a way out later.
Witch
A deal with the devil is one of the key motifs in The Master and Margarita. The image of Margarita is very closely connected with him. Being in despair, the heroine meets with Azazello. At first, the woman did not pay any attention to him, but when Woland's envoy began to quote lines from the Master's novel, she believes him. It is Azazello who gives her the cream and instructions. Understanding who came to her, Margarita is ready to do everything, if only she had the opportunity to return the Master.
At night, the heroine decides to use a magic cream and turns into a witch. The character of Margarita is changing again. Dark power transforms her no worse than love. She becomes free and brave, and her impulsiveness only increases. In the guise of a witch, Margarita does not lose her sense of humor: she jokes with a neighbor who saw her in the window, teases the arguing housewives.
A new Margarita is born. And she no longer holds anger in herself. Ready to deal with the offenders of the Master, she does not miss the chance to smash the apartment of the critic Latunsky. At this moment, she looks like an angry fury.
Margarita the Witch is a very bright and strong image, Bulgakov does not spare emotions and colors when drawing it. The heroine throws off everything that fettered her and prevented her from living and breathing. It becomes light in the literal sense of the word.
At Woland's ball
So, how does Margarita appear at Woland's ball? To begin with, the ball is the climax of the novel. Several key (for the novel and the image of the heroine) questions are raised here. For example, the problem of mercy. This theme is inextricably linked with the image of Margarita. And we see that, even having turned into a witch, she does not lose this feature, saving Frida from torment. Margarita manages to preserve her bright human qualities surrounded by evil spirits.
All the events of the chapter describing the ball are concentrated around the heroine. We see how she suffers from jewelry, but endures. Margarita really appears as a queen and hostess at the ball. She courageously endures everything that falls to her lot. Woland also notes this, mentioning the power of royal blood that flows in Margarita.
There is no more witchish prowess and recklessness in the heroine, she behaves with dignity and observes all the rules of etiquette. At the ball, the witch transforms into a queen.
Margaret's Award
It was the actions of the heroine that determined the denouement of the book The Master and Margarita. The image of Margarita is the driving force that helps the plot to develop. Only thanks to her consent to Woland's proposal, the Master gains freedom and receives his novel. Margarita achieves the goal she is striving for - finding love and peace. Despite the fact that the image of the heroine is often transformed, we do not see drastic changes in her character. Margarita remains true to herself, despite all the trials.
And as a reward for all the suffering, she is granted peace. The spiritual world, to which Woland sends her and the Master, is not paradise. The heroine still did not deserve it, as she made a deal with the devil. However, here she found a long-awaited peace. The lovers walk next to each other, and Margarita knows that she has done everything possible to never part with the Master again.
Prototypes
Almost every hero has his own prototype in The Master and Margarita. The image of Margarita is associated with the third wife of Bulgakov himself - Elena Sergeevna. The writer often called her "my Margarita". It was this woman who was with Bulgakov during the last years of his life and did a lot to ensure that this very novel was completed. The edition of the work was carried out already at the time when Bulgakov was seriously ill and dying. Elena Sergeevna made corrections under his dictation, sitting by the bed. And after her husband's death, she struggled with criticism for another two decades to get the novel published.
Bulgakov's Margarita also has features of Gretchen, the main character of Goethe's Faust.
Quotes from The Master and Margarita
Here are some of the most famous quotes of our heroine:
- “And in enjoyment one must be at least a little prudent.”
- “Sadness before a long journey. Isn't it true that it is quite natural, even when you know that happiness awaits you at the end of this road?
Quotes from The Master and Margarita have long become catchphrases that have been heard even by those who have not read this amazing work.
It is very interesting that when reading Bulgakov's novel "The Master and Margarita", the reader for a long time cannot understand why the work is called that way. After all, these characters appear only closer to the middle of the novel. For the first time, the image of Margarita emerges from the master's story about his beloved.
Ivan Homeless met with the master in a lunatic asylum. All night the heroes talked, and the master told the story of his life. Suddenly, “She” appeared in his story: “She carried disgusting, disturbing yellow flowers in her hands ... These flowers stood out very clearly on her black spring coat ... And I was struck not so much by her beauty as by the extraordinary, unseen loneliness in her eyes!” .
Margarita was incredibly lonely before meeting with the master. And it was on that day that she went out with yellow flowers so that the master would finally find her. Strong, passionate feelings immediately flare up between the characters. But their love bears the stamp of anxiety, doom. The yellow flowers of Margarita, as it were, signal danger. The master’s feelings also speak of this: “Love jumped out in front of us, like a killer jumps out of the ground in an alley, and struck us both at once! This is how lightning strikes, this is how a Finnish knife strikes!
Margarita inspired the master to continue working on the novel. The heroine created coziness in her lover's basement, read and reread ready-made excerpts from the novel. It was she who called the hero "master". It is clearly felt here that in the image of Margarita there are features of Bulgakov's wife, Elena Sergeevna. She also inspired the writer to work on his great works, was always with him, shared sorrows and joys.
Margarita convinced the master that his novel should see the light, and the work, in the end, was printed. Then all the troubles began. Criticism relentlessly attacked the author of the novel about Pontius Pilate. Unable to bear this, the master began to go mad. But even in these difficult moments, Margarita was next to her lover. She experienced every "blasphemous" article with the same pain as the master, she was eager to poison the most ruthless critic - Latunsky.
Later, Margarita could not forgive herself for daring to leave the master alone in one night. It was then that he burned his novel and ended up in a clinic. For the heroine, the master was lost, in her thoughts, forever. Margarita could not come to terms and simply forget her lover. She was true to him and to herself. The author himself speaks about this: “Who told you that there is no real, true, eternal love in the world ... Follow me, reader, and only me, and I will show you such love!”
In chapter 19 we will learn more about the master's beloved. The heroine married at the age of nineteen to a good, rich, decent man who adores his wife. But Margarita was not happy for a single day. The author admires and is surprised by his heroine: “What did this woman need?! What did this woman, in whose eyes some incomprehensible light always burned, what did this witch, slightly squinting in one eye, need, who adorned herself then in the spring with mimosas? In the future, the theme of witchcraft of the image of Margarita will be developed.
The heroine is ready to do anything to get her master back. So, Margarita, after meeting Azazello, becomes a real witch and turns out to be a queen at Satan's ball. Woland, who sees through everyone and everyone, not without reason chose Margarita as the hostess of his ball. It turns out that she was a descendant of a famous queen. And royal blood makes itself felt: the heroine is very proud, honest, noble. She did not ask for a legitimate reward after the ball, and then, having a chance to make any wish, she asks Frida for the child-killer.
Having returned her master thanks to Woland, Margarita is ready to be with him to the end, despite the fact that mental illness has greatly changed her beloved. The heroine is again ready to follow the master, to be with him every minute of her life.
It is very interesting that Margarita combines the features of a saint and a witch. On the one hand, her selfless love, loyalty to the master is admirable. The situation with Frida speaks of Margarita's kind heart, her responsiveness to other people's pain. But, on the other hand, she agreed to become a witch, that is, to be part of an evil spirit. The heroine is ruthless to the enemies of the master. I think no one doubts that she would have killed the critic Latunsky if he had been at home at the time of the destruction of his apartment.
After the death that freed the heroes, Margarita's witch-like strabismus disappeared, her face brightened. She was no longer a witch, but, like the master, she did not deserve the light, but only eternal rest with her lover.
The image of Margarita, without a doubt, is one of the main ones in the novel. It is distinguished by great complexity, ambiguity and, at the same time, amazing beauty.

The greatest literary work and monument of the twentieth century is the novel by M. A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita". The image of Margarita is key. This is a character that the author has been working on for quite a long time, writing out every little detail. In this article, we will consider the personality of M. A. Bulgakov's heroine and define her role in the semantic content of the novel.
Who is Margarita Nikolaevna?
The reader meets the heroine in the second part of the book and is immediately fascinated by her. The work tells that she was a young woman of about thirty, married to a rich, influential man. Surrounded by luxury and external well-being, she was not happy in marriage "for a single minute." The description of Margarita largely corresponds to her character.
The heroine appears before the reader as a serious lady with a deep sense of spiritual dissatisfaction. The image of Margarita is bright, lively, holistic. Looking at her, we can say that she was constantly looking for something, but did not find it. The big bottomless eyes of the heroine betray the bitterness and longing that she has carried in her heart for years.
Characteristics of Margarita
Turning to the inner content of the heroine, it can be noted that for a long time she was eaten by a deep sense of loneliness and uselessness. Despite the fact that outwardly her life seemed arranged and happy, her soul was not satisfied, did not rejoice at all the blessings that surrounded her. What was the reason for this? Perhaps life with an unloved person or a boring, unremarkable existence in which there was no place for new discoveries, achievements? Nowhere is there a description of interesting evenings, fun, laughter, joy, communication.
Margarita is emphatically lonely. The heroine suffers quietly, gradually sinking into sleep in this beautiful luxurious house. So, over time, a living heart that has not found closeness dies. The characterization of Margarita allows the reader to understand and realize the origins of the problem that prompted the heroine to turn into a witch and completely change her life.
Image prototype
Researchers in the field of literature have more than once come to an interesting conclusion: they noted some similarities between the heroine of the novel and the third wife of the writer himself. One can even make a bold assumption that in part the image of Margarita Bulgakov created, having before his eyes the original - his wife. The fact is that the history of their relationship with Mikhail Afanasyevich is somewhat similar to the story of the Master and Margarita: at the time of their acquaintance, Elena Sergeevna was married to another person, she was distinguished by high pride and rebelliousness.
It is Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova, like Margarita, who will become the writer's real muse, inspiring him to write the last, sunset novel in his life. She will help him create, take care of him when he is sick, and later, before his death, Mikhail Afanasyevich will be able to entrust his brainchild to her alone. According to Elena Sergeevna, specialists in the field of literature will work on proofreading the novel. But without this woman, perhaps the novel would never have seen the light of day.
Demonic Beginning
Loneliness in the soul of the heroine gave rise to her dissatisfaction with life. After meeting with the Master, she admitted that if this meeting had not happened, she would have been poisoned, because her life is empty. Margarita Bulgakova demonstrates to the reader a commitment to the dark force, which is led by Woland. After all, it is not by chance that Margarita Nikolaevna is invited to the ball to Satan, it is she who is entrusted with this role?
What are the signs of this? Firstly, Margarita suffered for a long time, which means she wasted the mental strength necessary in order to maintain the ability to rejoice. Secondly, the woman limited her social circle, practically did not meet with anyone, often indulged in sadness, yearned. Thirdly, Margarita was ready to pay any price just to learn something about the Master, and this is perhaps the most important thing. She mentally agreed to sell her soul to the Devil long before she received this offer. And all this can be read in the novel "The Master and Margarita". The image of Margarita is ambiguous, includes many facets and shades. It is impossible to condemn her - the heroine admires with her selflessness, with which she loves.
Love in the life of Margarita Nikolaevna
According to the book, love seized the heroes suddenly, blinded and at the same time opened their eyes to the truth. Since the first meeting with the Master, when the heroine went out into the street with yellow flowers, much has changed in her life. She has ceased to be lonely, because if there is a person in the world who needs your help and support, then you cannot remain lonely. Margarita Bulgakova took on such a role. She cares, worries, loves completely, with complete dedication, does not think at all about what will happen to her later. The heroine thinks for the most part not about herself, but about him, her lover. For his sake, she is ready to sacrifice herself, to go to any test. Even death is not terrible.
At Satan's Ball
Margarita, without fear or any fear, accepts the invitation of Azazello, who hands her a cream and tells her to smear her face and whole body at exactly midnight. The strange assignment does not surprise her at all. Maybe she is not comfortable, but she does not show her confusion and confusion, she behaves as if she was waiting for something like this.
Margarita Nikolaevna wants to seem independent, at the ball she acts somewhat detached and proud of the woman, and this is exactly what Woland likes. She demonstrates a willingness to play her part even when she has little strength to do so.
Forgiveness and eternal shelter
Having passed all the tests, Margarita remains true to herself. She achieved her goal: having lost external well-being, she gained eternal love and a sense of calm. In the work itself, the transformation of the image of the heroine is very well shown. Her character does not change, but from a dull and sad she is transformed into a fighting for life, self-confident and self-sufficient woman. This is the end of Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita. The image of Margarita turned out to be unforgettable and very original for such an unusual and touching story.
The spiritual world, where the heroes go after physical death, is not like paradise, but there is everything you need: peace and quiet. Margarita goes hand in hand with her loved one and knows that she did everything she could to achieve her intention to be with him forever. The heroes found themselves and each other, which means they became truly happy.
Instead of a conclusion
A truly masterpiece work - "Master and Margarita". The image of Margarita captivates the reader from the first minute and does not let go until the end. Is it possible to forget those big sad eyes that looked around with selfless longing and despair? Nevertheless, the heroine can be called a strong personality: Bulgakov created an independent woman, she knows what she wants and knows how to love.
Margarita's sacrifice, which she makes when she goes to the ball with Satan, is not in vain: freedom becomes the highest reward. Later, when the soul of a loved one is saved, Woland will let them go in peace, because he always retreats before love, which can do anything. Obviously, in this novel, M.A. Bulgakov wanted to show that love, not Satan, rules the world.
