GOD SEES THE TRUTH, BUT WAITS
Characters
There are two main characters in Leo Tolstoy’s ''God Sees the Truth, But Waits.''
They are Dmitrich Aksionov and Makar Semyonich. Minor characters include
Aksionov’s wife, the soldiers, and the police officer.
Ivan Dmitrich Aksionov is the protagonist, or main character, of the story. He is
a merchant heading to a fair. He has ''two shops and a house of his own''
showing a level of material success. His character goes through a transformation
during his imprisonment as he learns spiritual truths apart from the material
world.
Makar Semyonich actually committed the crime that Aksionov is convicted of.
He meets Aksionov in prison, but he does not admit his guilt until Aksionov’s
upright behavior convicts his own conscience. In this way, he goes through a
spiritual transformation of sorts as well.
Aksionov’s wife is an unnamed minor character. She is the one who warned
Aksionov not to go on the journey due to her dream. She appealed to the czar to
plead her husband’s innocence but was denied. She, herself, questions his
innocence.
The soldiers and police who question Aksionov are also unnamed. They
suspect him of the crime despite having no motive and having never found the
money he supposedly stole.
