When studying is in full swing, there is not enough time to reread the way even your favorite work. Of course, the main thing in his study is to remember and understand the main events in the novel, because in the lessons of literature some questions on the plot can put into a stupor. In order not to miss anything, it is best to make notes in the reader's diary, which helps to compose the Literaguru team.
(687 words) The events in the novel begin in Moscow in 1829: on the Patriarch's Ponds the novice poet Homeless and the chairman of MASSOLIT Berlioz meet the real Satan who arrived in the capital with his retinue. Of course, Woland does not reveal his essence, but pretends to be a professor of black magic. Entering the conversation, the stranger tells Berlioz that they will cut off his head, and the prediction comes true in front of the Homeless: Berlioz moved the tram. After unsuccessful attempts to persecute a predictive stranger, Homeless tries to talk about what happened in Massolita, but the hero is mistaken for a madman and taken to a psychiatric clinic.
In the work, the plot develops in parallel in ancient Yershalaim, narrated on behalf of Woland, or written by the hand of the Master in his novel. Interrogating Yeshua Ga-Nozri, Pontius Pilate realizes that before him is not a criminal, but a philosopher, so he tries to influence his release. However, the prosecutor does not succeed, as a result of which the convicted person is crucified on the cross for insulting Caesar’s power.
Moving back to Moscow, the reader observes the tricks of the Woland retinue — Koroviev, Behemoth, Azazzello and Gella. The company settles in the apartment of the late Berlioz, mysteriously expelling Stepan Likhodeev to Yalta. The chairman of the Housing Association, Bosoy, is in a psychiatric clinic because of bewilderment why the bribe from Koroviev turned into currency. But Likhodeyev never receives an answer to his telegrams from Yalta from the administrator Varenukha and the financial director Variety Rimsky who have lost it.
An important part of the novel is the performance at the Variete Theater, where unclean forces sometimes cause rain from money, or open a free women's store. Black magic impresses the audience, but after the performance, all the “gift” of Woland’s retinue disappears. Gella turned into a vampire Varenukha scares the Roman, and he, turning gray with fear, leaves for Leningrad.
In a psychiatric clinic, Homeless meets a Master who tells him about a meeting with Margarita and a novel, which he devoted all his time to writing after winning a decent amount (in the lottery). The poet retolds the dialogue with Satan, and the Master rejoices that what Woland said coincides with the manuscripts.
The hero’s love story went secretly, his chosen one is married. The chance meeting of the Master and Margarita on the street turned into a real feeling, and the girl went to her beloved man daily. When the novel was written to the end, the master was refused publication. Nevertheless, the printed passage was strongly criticized why the Master decided to burn his creation. Margarita managed to save several sheets, and decided to say goodbye to her husband and return to her beloved Master forever, but she did not find him.
Having met Azazello in the Alexander Garden, Margarita desperately agrees to meet with a noble foreigner in the hope of at least learning something about the Master. She also receives a magic cream from Azazello, thanks to which she acquired the ability to fly and the gift of invisibility. Having arranged the defeat in the house of the critic of Latunsky for persecuting her beloved, Margarita meets Woland, who asks her to be the queen at his ball in exchange for the fulfillment of her desire. The girl has no choice but to assume the role of the mistress of the ball of Satan, because Woland can return her beloved person. However, after the ball Margarita is wondering to help Frida so that she no longer sees a scarf reminding her of the tragedy with the child (the woman strangled him). After fulfilling this desire, Satan returns to Margarita the Master and his burnt manuscript.
Let us turn to the chapters of the second storyline that Margarita reads in the novel of the Master. We find that Pontius Pilate did not calm down, so he gives the order to the head of his secret service to kill Judas, because he allowed Yeshua to be arrested for money. After the murder, the follower of the philosopher, Levi Matvey, is brought to the prosecutor with the sermons written by Yeshua, and Pontius Pilate reads that “the most important vice is cowardice.”
Koroviev and the Hippopotamus complete their own adventures, and the whole "dark" gang ends its stay in the capital. The appeared Levi Matvey conveys to Wolanda the request of Yeshua - to take the Master with him. The hero did not deserve the light, so peace will be his best reward.
Azazello appears in the apartment of the Master and Margarita and gives them the wine presented by Woland, but after drinking it, the lovers die. Further, the action takes place in the other world: in flight, Woland shows Master Pontius Pilate, still tormented by the execution of Yeshua. But the Master frees his hero, and Pontius Pilate strives along the lunar road to the wandering philosopher Yeshua. Master and Margarita stay together in the other world.
The epilogue of the work unfolds on attempts to find an explanation for the tricks of the evil spirits, and the only thing that plausibly justifies what happened in Moscow is hypnosis. The poet Homeless, now known as Ponyrev, becomes a professor at the Institute of History and Philosophy, and in a dream he sees the Master and Margarita, as well as Yeshua, telling Pontius Pilate that there was no execution.
