Answers
Answer:
In "God Sees the Truth, But Waits," Tolstoy uses dramatic irony to instill in the reader sympathy for Aksionov, whom the reader knows to be innocent. As Aksionov is put through the tribulations of being punished for a crime he didn't commit, the reader watches Aksionov calmly accept his fate as the victim of a flawed criminal justice system composed of people eager to see the crime pinned on him. Tolstoy also depicts the inverted and private justice that Aksionov practices in relation to Semyonich: even though he knows Semyonich to be guilty, Aksionov doesn't repeat the cruelty used against himself, choosing instead to spare Semyonich any punishment. The leniency and mercy Aksionov demonstrates so profoundly shake Semyonich's sense of morality that he confesses to Aksionov and begs forgiveness. Aksionov says that God will forgive him, which points to Aksionov's faith in God's justice
