Question by pactgal: HW: Heart of a Dog allegories?
I am reading Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov. I am dimly aware that the book is allegorical, and that Sharik/Sharikov is the proletariat. Mostly I’m looking for help identifying the allegories the main characters portray (the doctor, Shvonder, etc.), but insight on their application to the history of Russia helps as well.
Thanks!
