Well goes the saying, “We should never judge a book from its cover.” But do we really put this proverb into our daily lessons? To summarize, the elephant man is a novel about the story of an ugly man with giant head and elephant-like skin regain his self-esteem by others warm comfort. Hundred years ago, there was a creep living in London, called the elephant man. Due to his hideous face, everyone was afraid of him and mocked at him. One day, Dr. Treves met him in the small shop when the elephant man had been showing as a rare creature in the zoo. The doctor took him back to the hospital for nursing him and providing him a sound environment. In the end, the doctor gave the rebirth of the elephant man, even gave the opportunity of the self acceptance. London always gives us the image of darkness, but the boundless love makes it warm and glorious.
