I am going to assume that the Man with the story about the woman with yellow flowers is Yeshua. If this is the case, Bulgakov strives to place Satan and Jesus in very different lights than what people are used to. Satan (Woland) entices people into deceiving themselves, whereas many people put the blame on Satan rather than the people who are weak enough to become victims. Satan is indirectly destructive. Jesus is also put in a very strange light and is described as a participant of an affair between him and Margarita.
