Discuss your reaction to the Elephant Man considering the behavior of the following characters:
Bytes
Treves
The night guard
In the beginning of the film, a police officer who is closing Bytes's show down says, "freaks are one thing, but this..." suggesting that displaying John Merrick as a circus attraction is inhumane because he is worse than a freak.
The night guard says he is happy about what he did and feels no shame for his abuse of John Merrick.
Treves asks if he is a good man or a bad man.
And Bytes...
What are your thoughts? Reactions? How do you feel?
