Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... an attorney and teacher’s assistant for Professor Callahan at Harvard Law School. Emmett also works at Callahan’s practice, and so nice-guy Emmett is privy to all of Callahan’s cunning tactics first-hand. Emmett also gets to meet all of the law students in Callahan’s classes, and lately he’s particularly noticed bubbly and driven first-year student Elle Woods.
Personality... kind, thoughtful, and quietly confident. Emmett is very intelligent and a talented lawyer, but he doesn’t feel the need to flaunt his skills. He’s perceptive; he notices the best in other people – especially the underdogs – and helps them to draw it out. Emmett has a strong sense of right and wrong, and you can count on him to make good choices.
Get to Know her in...
-
Elle Woods has it all. She's the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, and, above all, a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there's just one thing stopping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde.
-
After Elle Woods, the eternally perky, fashionably adventurous, famously blonde Harvard Law grad gets fired by her law firm because of her opposition to animal testing, she takes her fight to Washington. As an aide for Congresswoman Victoria Rudd, she pushes for a bill to ban testing once and for all, but it's her building's doorman who advises her on how to get her way on the Hill.

Before it was a blockbuster movie and a Broadway musical, LEGALLY BLONDE soared as a fresh, funny romance, with the unforgettable Elle Woods proving blondes will run the world. Elle Woods, California University senior, seems to have it all. President of Delta Gamma sorority, a star in the classroom (her major: sociopolitical jewelry design)—and is on the verge of becoming the much-envied Mrs. Warner Huntington III. Too bad Warner, bound for Stanford Law, dumps her with the explanation that he now needs a more "serious" woman at his side. Faced with this unexpected reversal of fortune, Woods doesn't get depressed, she gets busy. Thanks to a creative application and a demand for "diversity" at Stanford Law, Elle gets her acceptance letter. Soon she's packing up her convertible—as well as her miniature Chihuahua—determined to win back her man, and to prove to herself that dreaming big is the only way to dream. Smart, fast, and funny. LEGALLY BLONDE proves just how much fun blondes really can have.
