(232 words) The story of M. A. Bulgakov “A Dog’s Heart” is fantastic, but it conveys the real sentiments of intellectuals in the first half of the 20th century. Then a new society was being built in our state, which inspired fears for many thinking people. In the work they convey two amazing transformations that have a deep meaning.
The author described how Professor Preobrazhensky conducted an experiment: turned into a man the yard dog Sharik. The scientist wanted to make a breakthrough in science: to create a new and perfect individual in everything, but was not satisfied with the result. His ward had big problems with behavior and did not want to learn what was necessary. Citizen Sharikov lied, rude, hooligan, was fond of improper literature, behaved licentiously and cynically. For example, he decided to cleanse the city of stray cats, although he himself had recently lived on the street. He also lied about his canine origin to the woman whom he wanted to marry, saying that his scar was military, and not from an operation. Because of this, the lady was very upset and cried. Sharikov poisoned the life of a scientist and everyone around. It turned out that changing your appearance is not so difficult, but changing your mind is extremely difficult, if at all possible. The professor was horrified at how such a terrible person came out of a sweet dog, and made the reverse transformation.
The experiment showed that you can not interfere with what is inherent in nature, otherwise the consequences can be deplorable. Also with the construction of a new society in Russia. You can’t forcefully reconstruct the consciousness of people. Changes must be natural and gradual, otherwise society cannot get rid of old vices, but it will acquire new ones. This is the meaning of Sharik's reincarnations.
