Frankenstein chapter 12 continued

Chapter 12
The monster observes the people and becomes very interested in them. He realizes that they are very sad and is at first unsure why. However, he then understands it is due to poverty and feels very guilty and responsible for this, as he was stealing food from them. To compensate, he goes to the woods to collect wood and lays it outside their door for their use. He also stops stealing and tries to find alternatives. During the process, he sees his reflection in the water and is shocked by his ugliness. He spends the whole winter in the hovel, not seen. Over time, he becomes increasingly affectionate towards the people.
