In my personal opinion master and man was just not that astounding as I thought it would be. When I had came home when we first started reading master and man my parents had told me that it was a great story and that I’ll enjoy reading it, I in fact did not this story. Throughout the whole story Vasili was just a rude person with 0 respect for anyone around him but himself. Nikita was just there mainly because he was told to and also didn’t want Vasili to make any stupid decisions out in the cold by himself. That’s why the only character I liked was Mukhorty he was strong and honourable and pulled them everywhere they needed to go, at one point Nikita even let Mukhorty lead back on to the path! Mukhorty honestly didn’t deserve what happened to him he was the best character in that entire story and never gave any complaints, the way he died was just so heartbreaking to me.
Other than Mukhortys tragic death the main thing I didn’t like about this book was the fact that the beginning was a good introduction, then the middle dragged on for like the entire book and then when it came to the ending it just said “well like Nikita lived for 20 more years than died”. I was so confused on why Tolstoy would make the longest story then end it that way? Why not just kill of Nikita and then your ending can be short because they both just die I mean if you’re going to make one of them live I obviously want more of a detailed ending.
I mean I get the plot and I guess Tolstoys whole thing was to just write a tragedy, but I believe that this tragedy can happen in real life I mean it just takes some greedy guy and a loyal one!!
