03 always critics his physical appearance and Merrick has saved and abandons him alone in Belgium.
Merrick finds his way back to London and is later found

04 We should show compassion to the less We should respect everyone and not being
fortunate as our small contribution can prejudice no matter how others appearances

Example : Dr Frederick Treves give his effort Example : One day, a new nurse goes to his room and

such as sending email to the Chairman of the sees Merrick there. The nurse screams and runs out of

London Hospital to find permanent home for the the room. This makes Merrick sad and it is not the first
