I only wish that the whole thing had been destroyed including the damn chapters included in this damn book because they are SO BORING and they just make me want to get back to people being decapitated and vanished to Yalta and every other crazy thing in the main narrative.<br /><br />(cranky Jenny is cranky)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-37512139387574454072016-10-10T13:47:20.474-07:002016-10-10T13:47:20.474-07:00That first graphic is great!

But who wouldn't be tempted by Paris fashions? It was a clever scene exposing the petty greed of ordinary humans.<br /><br />Yes, that vampire girl is really creepy. I'm not quite sure what she represents.<br /><br />I am puzzled by the Pontius Pilate chapters. What are they doing there? Why a book about PP? I am hoping that they will make more sense as I read more about the Master in the next section.<br /><br />I really appreciate your summaries. They must take quite a bit of time to write up, and they are very useful.

I think my book says he ha...Oh, I love those pics!<br /><br />I think my book says he had a wife, but it's never mentioned what happens to her.

Though I've sort of accepted that most of the satire is going over my head, so I'm less caught up trying to figure that out, which is helping with the confusion. <br /><br />While I'm not saying I condone ripping a guy's head off, it was pretty rude of Bengalsky to keep interrupting the performance.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817835476996956670.post-88549685559237846812016-10-10T11:03:31.826-07:002016-10-10T11:03:31.826-07:00I know, I want his apartment.

Since The Internet says the Master is basically Bulgakov and Margarita is this woman he had an affair with, I'm thinking...yes, he's married? But he's overdramatizing how much the next woman made him forget his wife by having him ACTUALLY forget her. I think. Also I love his little apartment with the lamp and the books sooooo much.<br /><br />AND CREEPY VAMPIRE GIRL STRETCHING HER HAND TO OPEN THE WINDOW OMGReading Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614467198216577755noreply@blogger.com
