The following is the sentence I am writing: "Perhaps, he trembles at the sight of this act not solely for the fear of exposure but because he is realized of the horridness of his actions." What I am trying to say is that he becomes aware of how bad his actions were, but I want to write it in the aforementioned way, instead of saying something such as "he realized the horridness...". Is this an acceptable way to use "realized"?
