Is Yeshu Ha Nozri morally compromised in Blulgakov's The Master and Margarita?
Yeshu Ha Nozri is described in the novel as a kind of lovable individual who is the victim of a corrupt system. Mikhail Bulgakov does not overtly criticize him and, from the perspective of the average reader, even seems to flatter him.
This perspective seems to break at the end, when Yeshu asks Woland, through Matthew, to take care of the Master and Margarita. They are not vindicated or restored, but quietly removed from the world. The manuscript written by the Master is never published.
The disappearance of the Master and Margarita is reminiscent of how corrupt governments deal with undesired individuals who cannot be openly charged with crimes but nevertheless pose a potential threat to the interests of the ruling order.
Is Bulgakov suggesting that religion, as an institution, is as morally compromised as the Stalinist government of his era?
