Abstract

Anton Chekhov, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, and Mikhail Bulgakov are renowned Russian authors known for their masterful use of irony and satire in their works. Chekhov's stories often depict the absurdity of human behavior and societal norms, blending humor with a keen observation of human nature. Saltykov-Shchedrin's satirical novels ruthlessly critique the injustices and hypocrisies of Russian society, employing biting wit and sarcasm to expose corruption and moral decay. Bulgakov's iconic novel 'The Master and Margarita' satirizes Soviet society, religion, and bureaucracy, using fantastical elements to highlight the absurdity of life under totalitarian rule. Together, their works offer profound insights into the complexities of the human condition. In this paper we analyzed some key points of irony and satire their works.
