The Use of Dreams and Supernatural References in Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the references of dreams and the supernatural in Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain”. Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” and Thomas Mann’s “The Magic Mountain” both contain references to dream sequences to allow the characters to escape or mask the reality of life which surrounds them. In “The Master and Margarita”, Bulgakov uses dreams sequences and references to supernatural elements to allow the characters to speak about the underground world of the secret police. As characters are taken for questioning, the details of the abductions by “them” are made possible by the unreality and the distance provided by dreams. In addition, references to the supernatural such as “the Devil” also invoke memories of ancient taboos in society which are known to be punished. Mann’s central character Hans in “The Magic Mountain” has various dreams, daydreams and “vision quests” which allow the character to escape the routine and reality of his life. Already escaping somewhat to the sanatorium in the mountains, Hans has drug and fever induced dreams in which he gains more insight into the actions of man and offers him more freedom and confidence in his own decisions in life.

Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina": The Downfall
[ send me this paper ]
Set in 19th century Russia, Anna Karenina is hailed by many not only as being Tolstoy's best book but also as one of the greatest novels ever written. The story which unfolds in the book is really the classic tale of adultery and the retribution which follows. Anna Karenina finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage, an unbearable situation in which her only hope of finding true happiness appears to be an adulterous affair with the dashing Count Vronsky. The choices which Anna and Vronsky make are disastrous for both. As Anna and Vronsky deal with social ostracization, we are introduced to the trials and tribulations of yet another character, Constantine Levin. He too is seeking true happiness but his ideology and consequently his life choices are the exact opposite of Anna. Levin has a happy marriage with his wife Kitty and a secure spiritual footing, facts which will serve as a deep contrast to the life of Anna Karenina.

Tolstoy/Dostoyevsky On the Meaning of Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that contrasts and compares Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground and Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilych. The writer argues that in these works one finds characters that dramatically illustrate how the whole thrust of a life can go awry. While these protagonists are very different, they also share similarities that point to the common theme that is shared by both works. Each of these men is clearly spiritually lost and emotionally immature. This cripples both men in regards to any fulfilling relationships or experience of true intimacy. However, while Dostoyevsky's narrative ends with the Underground Man retreating from life and failing to learn from his experience, Ivan Ilych finds redemption at literally the last moment of life, which makes his death meaningful. No additional sources cited.
