Reading The Master and Margarita all over again means I get to enjoy little gems like the man you initially think is going to be the main character (Ivan Ponyrev) and one of the title characters who doesn’t actually do much (the Master) end up being committed to the same psychiatric hospital for their own safety quite by chance and begin telling each other about their life stories, and the Master says ‘Mate, I know you’re a Soviet atheist but that strange man you met at Patriarch’s Ponds today could not more clearly have been Satan.’
