The Bird And Its Flight: A Struggle For Freedom In Bulgakov's Master And Margarita, Nicole Crocker

Undergraduate Research Symposium (UGRS)

This presentation focuses on one of the themes of the novel, specifically Bulgakov’s use of birds in his work.

This paper is an exploration of bird imagery in the novel.
