Legally Blonde

Aristotle states that comedy is a meaningful form of art. There is a lot of examples of comedies that prove his statement. One example is from character comedy, Legally Blonde. The movie might seem absurd and even childish at first. The movie brings many issues women used to encounter in satirical way. When Elle, main character, got into Harvard law school her ex boyfriend was shocked because she is blond or in other words being pretty.
Elle: This is what I need to become.
Old Lady at Manicurist: What? Practically deformed?
Elle: No, a law student.
Once she became successful he wanted to get back together. Her boss wanted her to perform sexual favors to get the job.
She was stereotyped based on her looks but the movie made them humorous and she kept her high confidence.
