In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, what does the monster learn by observing the DeLacey family?

In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the
creature learns a great deal from observing the DeLacey
family.

The creature learns what a family is, how they
share each other's company, and how they support and love one another. He is amazed at
the simple things they employ: tapers (candles) to lengthen the day, a guitar to create
music. He comes to understand the concept of reading aloud. He learns that others are
unhappy, as he is, though it amazes him that those who are beautiful and enjoy good
company could also feel the unhappiness that engulfs
him.

The creature comes to understand poverty and
hunger.

A
considerable period elapsed before I discovered one of the causes of the uneasiness of
this amiable family: it was poverty, and they suffered that evil in a very distressing
degree...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.

In seeing their
hunger, the creature, who had been eating some of their food, abstained from doing so,
knowing what harm it caused the family. Here he learns compassion, though none has been
shown to him. The monster learns charity, by doing work that will help the family to
survive, such as gathering wood.

Soon the creature began to
understand that the family communicates with each other using
words.

By
degrees I made a discovery of still greater moment. I found that these people possessed
a method of communicating their experiences and feelings to one another by articulate
sounds. I perceived that the words they spoke sometimes produced pleasure or pain,
smiles or sadness, in the minds and countenances of the hearers. This was indeed a
godlike science, and I ardently desired to become acquainted with
it.

The creature comes to
understand the concept of reading, but has no way to master this skill. And it is also
from Felix, the young DeLacey, and his sweetheart, Safie (who appears one day on
horseback), that the creature learns of love.
