The Elephant Man, directed by David Lynch, is a biographical portrayal of John Merrick based on The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences written by Dr. Frederick Treves and Ashley Montagu’s The Elephant Man: A Study in Human Dignity. It is important to note that John Merrick was in fact named Joseph Merrick, a fact that the film seems to ignore.

Throughout the play, Merrick is essentially treated like an animal. In scene eight, this is especially evident, as Treves is talking to Merrick as if he is stupid.
