The inner frame of this story is the story of Safie and Felix. At first I thought that this story was kind of random. Then I realized there were all sorts of parallels between Safie and the monster (oh boy oh boy oh boy). Once Safie appears into the lives of the cottage dwellers their lives spark up. The monster notes on how much happier they seem instead of they're constant sighing and looking off into the distance (how annoying). This is not the case for the monster. Even though he shares the same dark locks as Safie when he meets the family he only is hit with a stick. He is hit with a stick multiple times. I think it's interesting to point out how beauty/looks aren't everything. Even though Safie isn't assaulted each time she hangs the with the family she is a slow learner when it comes to French. The monster kicks but on learning the launguage and is able to read several books on the side.
Perhaps these chracters even match up with the theme of doubling...only they don't match together. Savy?
