The Elephant Man is the story of Joseph Merrick, a remarkably sensitive, artistic, and intelligent man whose disfigurement is exploited by Victorian society. Merrick is befriended by an ambitious and brilliant young surgeon, Frederick Treves, who looks after him in his last few years—finding him a home in a London hospital where Merrick’s unusual presence is shrewdly used for fund-raising. Merrick’s story is one of humanity and isolation, and telling his story helps us define our own.
