My impressions about the story made me focus more on M. Myiel because he was nice to people, he would give them money or help them out and he didn't want the money to himself. That's what I would do also if I had money. Instead of me being wealthy, I would rather help people that are out in the streets with no home or food. Having money doesn't make you a better person but helping people does.
Good questions! His family was part of the aristocracy and they were attacked by the revolutionaries. That's why he went to Italy. The author doesn't explain what happened next, only that when M. Myriel came back to France, he was a priest.
