The end of the novel seems to signal a return to the novel's first setting, which is Moscow, but changes that setting in a fundamental manner. For successfully hosting the party with the Devil, the Devil grants Margarita her greatest wish. She asks that the Master be set free, so that she can live with him. She does this knowing that, in the current social and political climate, life with the Master will be a life of poverty. This choice seems to help change the nature of Moscow at that time, because both the Devil and Christ leave Moscow. This seems to signify that, when one loses religion, one may lose the Devil, but one also loses Christ.

This idea is reinforced by the fact that the Master and Margarita are able to attain peace at the end of the novel, but denied salvation. Bulgakov's overriding message seems to be that peace, but not salvation, can be found in Moscow. Because of this message, it is clear that, even though the novel incorporates a wide variety of different styles and even different structures, it is most appropriately characterized as satire, which cannot fully be appreciated without an understanding of the historical political events in Russia at that time.
