In the story, the creature witnesses the French cottagers and feels sympathy towards them. Although the creature is at first unable to understand how they could also not be happy (similar to the creature), he investigates further and even tries to help the family. The creature discovers the cause of the family’s distress relates to their poverty and desires to help them.
After the creature studied the family for a bit, he realized that they were not happy and believes it was due to their poverty. As the creature illustrates, the family only had one cow and a small garden to feed the family. The creature further states that:
They often, I believe, suffered the pangs of hunger very poignantly, especially the two younger cottagers; for several times they placed food before the old man when they reserved none for themselves.
As a result, the creature tries to help the cottagers by finding firewood for them or contributing in anyway to the family. His compassion for them grows and he begins to relate more and more with their sufferings.
