Joseph Merrick- The Elephant Man The movie The Elephant Man highlighted many different aspects of the human nature; people who interacted with the Elephant man each had different responses to him. Joseph Merrick also known as the elephant man was a heavily disfigured man, who throughout his life comes into contact with many different individuals. Joseph spent most of his life being mistreated by the people who he came into contact with. The only person that treated Joseph like a human bean was Dr Treves, from the eyes of counselors the doctor was the best thing to happen to Joseph.

In the movie the way people view Joseph was hurtful some were afraid of him, other just couldn’t believe that he was human or could ever living normally. When he was with bytes I felt as if that was him being in hell. Then when the doctor was introduce in the movie I was confused because I wasn’t sure if he wanted to meet Joseph for all the right reasons but after see that he was trying to help him. I felt a little happier about Joseph condition because he didn’t do anything to deserve what he was going through. After I learned that Joseph lived by the bible it made me understand a little more of what his mind set is like. From a counselor’s point of view, Joseph was a very troubled and hurt individual. All the obstacles that were in his life would have affecting him to the point at which he would hate people and feel as if he was lower on the human scale. For example when he had to deal with Bytes as his partner, bytes would treat him as if he was an animal. To be treated like that would make any human feel lesser about themselves, also taking in constant that Joseph was a very smart person who was subduing his intelligence in order to find a place in
