“‘And there’s no devil either?’ the sick man suddenly inquired merrily of Ivan Nikolaevich,
‘No devil…’
‘Well now that is positively interesting!’ the professor said, shaking with laughter. ‘What is it with you—no matter what one asks for, there isn’t any!” (41)

Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Physical abuse, and Violence

Unlike the work of some authors (*cough*Dostoyevsky*cough*) the minor tag for Anti-semitism isn't from Bulgakov's point of view. In this case, it refers to some of the Roman/Jewish religious tensions in the biblical parts of the story. But I figured readers still might want to know about it beforehand.
