In God Sees the Truth, But Waits by Leo Tolstoy we have the subject of blame, absolution, confidence,
struggle, opportunity and acknowledgment. Described as an outsider looking in by an anonymous
storyteller the peruser acknowledges subsequent to perusing the story that Tolstoy might be
investigating the topic of pardoning. Notwithstanding the way that Aksyonof has gone through 26 years
in jail for a wrongdoing he didn't carry out he can excuse the one who perpetrated the wrongdoing. This
might be significant as Tolstoy might be recommending that should an individual have confidence in God
regardless of how troublesome things might be for them they can in any case excuse another person for
any activity taken against them. Aksyonof realizes that Semyonitch killed the dealer yet he never reports
him to the specialists. Despite the fact that Aksyonof may fear how Semyonitch may deal with him all
things considered, Aksyonof acknowledges the position that he ends up in. He realizes that following 26
years in jail he has nothing to live for. His family have failed to remember him as too has society. It is
additionally conceivable that Tolstoy is recommending that in time reality will win. It may have taken
Aksyonof 26 years to demonstrate his blamelessness however interestingly, he figured out how to
demonstrate that he was a guiltless man.
Aksyonof's person is likewise intriguing as he gives off an impression of being to some degree blameless
of his general surroundings. Something that a few pundits may discover amusing. At the point when he
is addressing the cop he welcomes him to have some tea with him. Aksyonof doesn't see the
weightiness of the circumstance he winds up in. A man has been killed and Aksyonof is the excellent
suspect. Likewise Aksyonof abandons requesting of the Tsar. This could be significant as there is a
feeling that Aksyonof has lost expectation and is set up to acknowledge that he is going to jail.
Essentially Aksyonof's significant other seems to question Aksyonof's guiltlessness which leaves the
peruser to speculate that separated from his confidence in God. Aksyonof is especially alone. On the off
chance that anything Aksyonof has been managed a blow that he doesn't effectively recuperate from.
His opportunity has been detracted from him as too has his family and he has no one who can vouch for
his honesty. The way that Aksyonof is certifiably not an unpleasant man is amazing however his
confidence in God might be the one thing that saves him from having any sharpness towards another
person.

Tolstoy additionally has all the earmarks of being investigating the topic of blame. Semyonitch feels
remorseful about how he has dealt with Aksyonof. The peruser mindful that the blame has been set off
by the way that Aksyonof has not informed the specialists regarding Semyonitch's getaway plans. So
overpowered is Semyonitch that he asks Aksyonof for absolution as well as tells the specialists that he
was the person who killed the trader. This might be significant as Tolstoy might be featuring how
overwhelmed an individual may feel when stood up to with blame. Semyonitch realizes that he will wind
up spending the remainder of his life in jail on the off chance that he tells the specialists that it was him
who killed the dealer yet in any case he actually concedes to his blame. It is like the blame disabled
people Semyonitch. He realizes that Aksyonof is a decent man and doesn't have the right to be in jail. In
the event that anything Semyonitch might be in struggle with himself. Incapable to live with how he has
dealt with Aksyonof.

In spite of the fact that a few pundits may recommend that Semyonitch's activity of telling those in
power that he killed the vendor is squandered. Because of the way that Aksyonof passes on in jail. The
truth might be that Aksyonof was at that point a liberated individual. He may have actually been secured
up jail anyway profoundly through his confidence and his faith in God Aksyonof was a liberated person.
Society may have passed judgment on him to be a blameworthy man yet God didn't. Which might be the
point that Tolstoy is endeavoring to make. He might be recommending that regardless of how
troublesome life might be for an individual God will consistently be there. An individual may have a
contention with society as Aksyonof does. They might be beaten by society however once they have
confidence in God they can defeat any impediment that society places before them. In spite of the fact
that Aksyonof didn't see opportunity. He was liberated by God. Emblematically the jail may likewise be
significant as Tolstoy could be utilizing Aksyonof's current circumstance to reflect the wretchedness that
Aksyonof feels. Anyway it may likewise be critical that Aksyonof feels recovered while in jail. Something
that is perceptible when Aksyonof accepts his confidence in God. Never again is Aksyonof's life
distracted with material things as had been the situation before Aksyonof went to jail. Toward the finish
of the story there is a shift from realism to mysticism. It is consequently that Aksyonof is at last
liberated.
In God Sees the Truth, But Waits by Leo Tolstoy we have the theme of guilt, forgiveness, faith, conflict,
freedom and acceptance. Narrated in the third person by an unnamed narrator the reader realises after
reading the story that Tolstoy may be exploring the theme of forgiveness. Despite the fact that Aksyonof
has spent twenty-six years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit he is able to forgive the man who did
commit the crime. This may be important as Tolstoy may be suggesting that should a person have faith
in God no matter how difficult things may be for them they will still be able to forgive another human
being for any action taken against them. Aksyonof knows that Semyonitch killed the merchant yet he
never reports him to the authorities. Though Aksyonof might be afraid of what Semyonitch might do to
him it is more likely that Aksyonof accepts the position that he finds himself in. He knows that after
twenty-six years in prison he has nothing to live for. His family have forgotten him as too has society. It is
also possible that Tolstoy is suggesting that in time the truth will prevail. It might have taken Aksyonof
twenty-six years to prove his innocence but the important thing is that he did manage to prove that he
was an innocent man.

Aksyonof’s character is also interesting as he appears to be somewhat innocent of the world around
him. Something that some critics might find ironic. When he is speaking to the police officer he invites
him to have some tea with him. Aksyonof does not see the gravity of the situation he finds himself in. A
man has been killed and Aksyonof is the prime suspect. Also Aksyonof gives up on petitioning the Tsar.
This could be important as there is a sense that Aksyonof has lost hope and is prepared to accept that he
is going to prison. Similarly Aksyonof’s wife appears to doubt Aksyonof’s innocence which leaves the
reader to suspect that apart from his faith in God. Aksyonof is very much alone. If anything Aksyonof has
been dealt a blow that he does not easily recover from. His freedom has been taken away from him as
too has his family and he has nobody who can vouch for his innocence. The fact that Aksyonof is not a
bitter man is remarkable though his belief in God may be the one thing that saves him from having any
bitterness towards another human being.

Tolstoy also appears to be exploring the theme of guilt. Semyonitch feels guilty about what he has done
to Aksyonof. The reader aware that the guilt has been triggered by the fact that Aksyonof has not told
the authorities about Semyonitch’s escape plans. So overwhelmed is Semyonitch that he not only begs
Aksyonof for forgiveness but also tells the authorities that he was the one who killed the merchant. This
may be important as Tolstoy may be highlighting how overpowered an individual might feel when
confronted with guilt. Semyonitch knows that he will end up spending the rest of his life in prison if he
tells the authorities that it was him who killed the merchant yet nonetheless he still admits to his guilt. It
is as though the guilt cripples Semyonitch. He knows that Aksyonof is a good man and does not deserve
to be in prison. If anything Semyonitch may be in conflict with himself. Unable to live with what he has
done to Aksyonof.
Though some critics might suggest that Semyonitch’s action of telling those in authority that he killed
the merchant is wasted. Due to the fact that Aksyonof dies in prison. The reality may be that Aksyonof
was already a free man. He might have physically been locked up in prison however spiritually through
his faith and his belief in God Aksyonof was a free man. Society might have judged him to be a guilty
man but God didn’t. Which may be the point that Tolstoy is attempting to make. He may be suggesting
that no matter how difficult life may be for an individual God will always be there. An individual may
have a conflict with society as Aksyonof does. They may be beaten by society but once they have faith in
God they can overcome any obstacle that society puts in front of them. Though Aksyonof did not see
freedom. He was freed by God. Symbolically the prison may also be important as Tolstoy could be using
Aksyonof’s environment to mirror the misery that Aksyonof feels. However it might also be significant
that Aksyonof feels redeemed while in prison. Something that is noticeable when Aksyonof embraces his
faith in God. No longer is Aksyonof’s life preoccupied with material things as had been the case before
Aksyonof went to prison. At the end of the story there is a shift from materialism to spiritualism. It is for
this reason that Aksyonof is finally freed.

What Leo Tolstoy means by “God Sees the Truth, But Waits” is that God moves in mysterious ways. In
other words, God doesn't always act in the way we would expect him to act. That doesn't mean,
however, that God isn't always aware of the truth. It's just that we, as imperfect creatures, don't see the
truth in the way that God sees it.

What Leo Tolstoy implies by "God Sees the Truth, But Waits" is that God moves strangely. As such, God
doesn't generally act in the manner in which we would anticipate that he should act. That doesn't mean,
notwithstanding, that God isn't generally mindful of reality. It's simply that we, as blemished animals,
don't see reality in the way that God sees it.
