The story
Frederick Treves, a surgeon at the London Hospital, finds John Merrick in a Victorian freak show in London's East End, where he is kept by Mr.
Carr Gomm, the hospital's Governor, is against housing Merrick, as the hospital does not accept "incurables".
Carr Gomm permits him to stay, and Merrick spends his time building a model of a cathedral he can partially see from his window.
