Explain how Aksionov's faith evolves from his initial protest against injustice to his eventual spiritual acceptance of his fate.
Answer (1)
At the start of the story “God Sees the Truth, But Waits” by Leo Tolstoy, Aksionov strongly protests his innocence when he is falsely accused of murder. He cries, defends himself, and hopes that justice will clear his name. Over time, he realizes that no amount of protest will change his situation. Instead of holding anger, he turns to prayer and faith in God. His suffering teaches him patience and humility. By the end of the story, Aksionov accepts his fate, forgives those who wronged him, and finds peace in trusting God’s judgment. His faith changes from seeking freedom and justice to seeking spiritual strength and salvation.
