Les Mis #2

In chapter 2 we continue to learn more about Myriel and we find out that he is a kind person. He gave up his house so that the sick had space to be housed without being cramped into small rooms. He also spent 15,000 livres and only 1,000 of those livres went into his personal expenses everything else went in helping the people. Many townspeople though continued to bash him after he claimed the allowance he was owed. Myriel soon started making tons of money but would only take what he needed, bare necessities, and would use the rest to help others. In this chapter we find out that Myriel is a kind, generous man that puts others before him and only takes what he needs for himself.

For example we see the silver utensils and candlesticks brought up as well as him leaving his house unlocked although we do not know if someone if for sure going to rob them, we can infer and assume that this is a big possibility of  happening
