First of all, this has nothing to do with any of the Masters from certain [[Doctor Who (TV)|television]] [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|shows]], which the novel predates by more than twenty years. And now that we have established that, let's move on.
 
This novel was written by Mikhail Bulgakov in 1928-1940, but only published in the Soviet Union in 1966-1967 in a severely [[Bowdlerise|Bowdlerised]] edition. It is notable for not having a single definite main character around whom most of the plot revolves, although the [[Anti-Villain]] may qualify.
Line 25:
* [[Bigger On the Inside]]: Woland's ballroom.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]
* [[Brought to You By The Letter "S"]]: Margarita made the Master a cap with the letter "M" on it.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]
* [[Chase Scene]]
Line 66:
* [[Satan]]: Woland, literally.
* [[Satan Is Good]]: Woland is either this or an [[Anti-Villain]].
* [[Self -Inflicted Hell]]: Berlioz, who believes in nothing, gets nothing after death.
* [[Selfless Wish]]: Margarita wants more than anything else for the Master to be returned to her, but when Satan offers to grant her one request, she instead asks for mercy for one of the damned souls she met at his ball.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Particularly to [[Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe]]'s drama of ''[[Faust]]''.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: The Master's novel.
* [[Smite Me Oh Mighty Smiter]]: Matthew Levi; it accomplishes nothing.
