Elle Woods - Personality

Personality

Elle is an attractive blonde sorority girl from California. She attends Harvard Law School in an effort to rekindle a romance with her ex-boyfriend Warner. Who had ended the relationship before heading there himself. Although superficially nothing more than the stereotypical 'dumb blonde', she demonstrates a surprising intellect even before going to Harvard - albeit mainly focused on fashion-related details - and also shows genuine concern and care for others. She eventually earns her Juris Doctor, gains the respect of her peers, and becomes engaged to Emmett, who she met on her first day of law school. In the sequel to the original film, Elle is in the middle of planning her wedding while in line for a promotion at work. She decides to track down the birth mother of her beloved dog, Bruiser, and discovers that she is being used for animal testing. After getting fired for trying to bring up the testing facility, Elle goes to work on Capitol Hill, seeking to advance animal rights. She begins the film with naive expectations about the motivations of members of Congress, and although these expectations are dashed, she perseveres and succeeds in the passage of the desired animal rights legislation. At the end of the movie, she marries Emmett in Washington, D.C, and is seen looking at the White House when she is asked where she wants to live.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:

    There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.
    Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)

    Talent alone can not make a writer. There must be a man behind the book; a personality which by birth and quality is pledged to the doctrines there set forth, and which exists to see and state things so, and not otherwise; holding things because they are things.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
