A Dog’s Heart
Therefore, the novel ‘The Heart of a Dog’ has a very clear idea of the author. Briefly, it can be formulated as: accomplished in Russia the revolution was not the result of the natural socio-economic development of society and just an irresponsible and premature experiment. Hence, it is necessary to return the country, if possible, to its former state. Thus, the experiment of the Professor was completely artificial. Professors were interested only in the question of whether it is possible to engraft a human pituitary gland in the dog and make it rejuvenation. What would happen to the dog, Philip Philipovich didn't care. Sharikov was only a consumable item. In addition, the Professor was almost sure that the dog will die. What happened to Sharikov, was a surprise for everyone and, first of all, for a Professor. He didn't know how to control this new creature how to make it, at least, safe for the society. One of the most important quotes of the book is: ‘The whole horror of the situation is that he now has a human heart, not a dog’s heart! And about the rottenest heart of all creation!’ (Bulgakov, 125)
The analogy Bulgakov presents is transparent. The noblemen and other educated people wanted to revolutionize the experiment over the proletariat. They did not care about the repercussions. Therefore, when the resulting monster became uncontrollable, primarily suffered his creators. Sharikov began to "run his own country" by bringing it a huge amount of tears and sorrow.
