- Love is stronger than death
Love! How much meaning we put into this word. It has many facets and definitions; it contains the strength and weakness of the human race. From ancient times to the present day, it has been sung, cursed, dreamed of, abandoned. For some, love is happiness, for others it is punishment, for others it is a bitter experience, and for others it is inspiration.
Man is designed in such a way that he needs to love and be loved. Without love, life seems meaningless; people are always looking for someone with whom they can share their lives, both in sorrow and in joy. Only by finding a soul mate can you feel truly happy.
But, alas, not everyone is capable of real sincere feelings. Many people confuse love with passion, sympathy, attraction and never find happiness in one, continuing throughout their lives to change one hobby for another.
True love is stronger than death. We can find many examples of such love on the pages of world fiction. One of the most striking examples is William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Their love turned out to be stronger than the enmity and hatred of their families, stronger than death itself. Love at first sight and forever. They couldn't live without each other. Yes, this story has a sad ending, but a very strong message: “True love knows no barriers.” Their love did not stop in the face of death; they were ready to leave this world just to be reunited again.
Another no less striking example of true love is given in the story “Olesya” by A.I. Kuprin. The heroine of the story "Olesya" - a modest girl, not spoiled, capable of completely dissolving in her loved one - fell in love with Ivan Timofeevich, her complete opposite. He is intelligent and educated, but has absolutely no nobility or the ability to care for others. These two completely different people fell in love with each other, but they fell in love in different ways and therefore their love was doomed, they had no future, and Olesya, realizing that everything was stacked against them, sacrificed her love, simply disappearing from the life of Ivan Timofeevich.
Love is a great feeling that sometimes helps us overcome difficult life adversities, makes us strong and wise. But, unfortunately, sometimes love can destroy someone's life. Loving people quite often make many sacrifices for the sake of their other half, which is why love and death often go hand in hand. In any case, give your love and accept it as a gift. Love and be loved!

Fatal meeting of two heroes
Particular attention should be paid to how the Master and Margarita met, because it was at that moment that a spark flared up between them. These feelings are not short-term, but long-lasting. Their acquaintance took place in a dark alley.
The main characters meet by chance on the street. When the Master sees a woman carrying yellow mimosas in her hands, he completely falls in love. At the same time, the man notices how loneliness splashes in her eyes and the fire burns. He compares feelings with lightning or a sharp knife. The master and his beloved, who is married but does not love her husband and does not want to have any relationship with him, were lonely until they met so unexpectedly.
Soon the Master says that he was married a long time ago, but cannot remember the name of his ex-wife and does not remember anything about her. But he knows everything about Margarita to the smallest detail.
The Master has neither money nor family. In the past he worked in a museum, but soon everything changed. Luck turned to him when he won a decent amount in the lottery. The hero decided to rent an apartment and start writing his creation.
Soon, Margarita began to visit her beloved every day, helped in writing the novel, and even became its heroine . Finally her life has changed, she can release her inner fire. It is also important that her man was listened to and understood, supported and loved. Writing the novel “Pontius Pilate” became difficult for the lovers, but they were destined to go through this ordeal together.
For the Master, Margarita is not only a beloved woman, but also a muse, inspiration and pain at the same time. The heroine loves the writer with all her heart. After her arrival, the apartment is transformed. She devotes herself entirely to creating the novel and believes that everything will work out.
But unexpectedly, trouble came to their idyll: publication of the book was refused because a small excerpt ended up in print, and criticism finally ruined all their work, painfully wounding their lovers. Now love in The Master and Margarita is under threat.
The writer is broken and devastated, and his woman is simply furious and even wants to poison Latunsky. But love continues to live in their souls. The heroes are destined to go through the cold icebreaker of critics, although they have different visions of the world and characters. The master thinks, but Margarita acts and does not stop fighting for her happiness. The following can be said about him:
- quiet;
- soft;
- vulnerable;
- pensive;
- modest.
Margarita has sparkles in her eyes. The woman passes on a piece of her fire to the man, and he writes it into the lines of the novel. She is ready to even sell her soul for him and become the queen of the ball. Only for the sake of her beloved does she agree to Woland’s proposal. Several character traits of the main character can be identified:
- strong;
- sharp;
- brave.
This proves that a woman is strong in spirit, because only such people are able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their loved ones. She understands that if she wants to return her love, she must endure everything: turning into a witch and meeting the spirits at Woland’s ball. After all this chaos, the black magician and his retinue tell Margarita how she can save the Master.
The heroes can no longer exist without each other. Before this fateful meeting, the characters did not know what happiness was. Even after stopping communicating, they were never able to live separately.
He thinks about his beloved while sitting in a mental hospital, and she thinks about her while with her husband. So that they would not be separated again, the author decided to kill them, giving them eternal peace in return.
The greatest mystery of existence in the works of Kuprin
It is no coincidence that the Creator in his works turns to the theme of love, because he perceives it as the greatest mystery of existence, and that is why this feeling is always inextricably linked with death. The only question that remains open is “why love is stronger than death.” An essay on this topic based on Kuprin’s stories must necessarily cover three areas - death in the name of salvation: oneself, a loved one, the feeling itself. Selfless and at the same time very gentle Olesya sincerely fell in love with the weak, but infinitely kind Ivan Timofeevich, and for his sake alone she performed a natural feat of love. The kind and pure-hearted Romashov, without hesitation, gave his life for the sake of the mercantile Shurochka Nikolaeva. And the tender and reverent Shulamith laid down her life on the altar of love, giving it for her lover. Analyzing the actions of these literary heroes, you understand why love is stronger than death. An essay based on the stories read should express admiration for the strength of feelings, fortitude of character, and the richness of the inner world, spirituality. Their stories are able to penetrate to the very depths of even the hardened heart of a contemporary, forcing one to think about what a real feeling is, what incredible power it holds within itself.
