Question

6. Justify the title of the story ‘God Sees the truth But Wails'.​

Answer 1

Answer:

God Sees the Truth, But Waits' is an aptly titled short story that reinforces the biblical message that when the world is up against you, God alone knows the truth. Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov is falsely imprisoned for 26 years for a crime he did not commit but puts his trust in God.

Answer 2

The title is perfectly justified, as the plot revolves around Aksionov, who had given up all hope and relied solely on God.

Explanation:

• He rejected all state powers and institutional justice, acknowledging only God's ability to punish the true criminals.
• According to the story, when the universe appears to be against you, God is the only one who knows the truth.
• Aksionov is wrongly imprisoned for 26 years for a crime he did not commit, but he puts his trust in God and is eventually found not guilty.
• God sees Aksionov's innocence as it really is.
