Hector Berlioz was a French Romantic composer of the 19th century. He is most known for his Symphonie Fantastique (1830), Romeo and Juliette (1839), and La Damnation de Faust (1846). He appears in the beginning of the novel, debating with the Homeless over Jesus’ existence and then with Woland over the devil’s existence, before a train smoothly beheads him.
