From Beginning to End

In the beginning of the movie "Freaks" the circus people were being shown as how they were different and how they were viewed upon by other people. When the family of "freaks" was out in the woods dancing around and having fun 2 men walked by and yelled at them. Since they were acting so foolishly they could possibly be seen as children. The woman said they were her children and the men said they weren't children they were monsters and he felt bad so he kept letting them play. They were shown this way on purpose even Han was shown as a child by the way he fell for Cleopatra so easily. He acted in a way that a child would have acted when he saw a toy or something he wanted really bad and would do anything for it. He ignored what people said about him and Cleopatra whether or not they were right.
In the end of the movie the "freaks" were also shown as being freaks but in their own way. When the second part of the movie started with the family accepting Cleopatra into their family it was showing her as being the "freak." Most people would see her as being the normal one but since they were the freaks and she was normal she was a freak to them. When Cleopatra poisoned Han the family acted like the mob and attacked her and Hercules. When thinking about the family attacking them it almost seems like the childest side is still coming out. The reason it seems this way is because I feel like they could have called the cops as Venus wanted to do, instead they went the easiest way out and killing Hercules and turning Cleopatra into a chicken woman.
