Uncle Axel does not specify a particular image for God. He believes that ' nobody really knows what is the true image'.
he is a family friend of the Strorms in the book chrysalids
Uncle Axel makes that statement in The Chrysalids on page 103. He explains to David that he believes their telepathic abilities are a natural evolution and that the true image of God’s children is not the limited physical form dictated by society, but rather the enhanced mental state achieved through telepathy.
He has a crippled leg. Not through mutation, obviously, or he wouldn't be allowed in the community.
Page 63 is where Uncle Axel tells David why he told him about the other people in the world. He tells him about how no one really knows what the true image is.
In John Wyndham's "The Chrysalids," Uncle Axel identifies the major sin committed by the people of Waknuk as their extreme intolerance toward deviations from the norm, particularly in terms of physical and mental differences. He argues that their rigid adherence to the belief in "the true image" leads to fear and persecution of those who do not conform. This intolerance reflects a deeper moral failing, as it prevents compassion and understanding, ultimately stifling human potential and progress.
Uncle Axel suspected that Alan knew about the telepath in the Chrysalids because Alan asked too many probing questions about Sophie’s mutation and Rachel’s baby, which indicated he was aware of David’s telepathic abilities and the secret surrounding them. Uncle Axel's intuition and keen observation skills allowed him to put the pieces together and confront Alan about his knowledge.
I think there is hope in Uncle Axel's relationship with David. David trusts him, and uncle Axel doesn't betray that trust. I think there is hope in David's relationship with Sophie as well. Sophie trusts David, and David doesn't betray her. There is hope in the bond between the telepaths. They communicate and support each other. ... There is some hope in the communication with Zealand. A lot of hope for the telepaths, but none for uncle axel or anyone on the fringe. No hope that the world will change... just hope that the telepaths have found a place to belong.
Uncle Axel advises David to keep his abilities a secret in order to protect himself from persecution. This advice is good because in their society, anyone displaying deviations from the norm is seen as a threat and is often killed or banished. By keeping his telepathic abilities hidden, David can avoid being targeted and potentially stay safe.
Uncle Axel is David's uncle. However, he is not related to David because he just married one of David's mother's sisters named Elizabeth.
