"Don"t judge a book by its cover". Is this an important message conveyed in the film 'Legally Blonde? Discuss.

             When people first look at the cover of 'Legally Blonde" most people think that the movie is about blondes and how dumb they are. You should never judge a book by its cover because most of the time the cover has little to do with the story line of the book.

             An example of when you should never judge a book by its cover is when Elle (Reese Witherspoon) and her two best friends go shopping to buy a dress for Elle to wear that night, because Elle thinks that her boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) is going to propose. Elle is trying on a dress when one of the shop assistants sees Elle and automatically thinks, "What a dumb blonde". The shop assistants quotes to the other lady she works with, "there"s nothing I love more than a dumb blonde with daddy"s plastic". But what the shop assistants don"t know is that Elle is an expert in the fashion industry. Elle quotes to the shop assistants, ". if your trying too sell it to me for full price, you picked the wrong girl". .

             Warner suddenly dumps Elle and decides to go to Harvard Law School. Elle takes matters into her own hands and enrols there also. When Elle first steps foot in the grounds of Harvard Law School she is discriminated because she is a blonde. .

             Quote, ".check out Malibu Barbie".

             Elle stands out at Law School as she is different from everyone else. The way she dresses, acts and just the way she sets her mind towards studying makes her different. In Elle"s first class at School she sits right at the front. Everyone around her have lap tops, but Elle only has a pink fluffy pen and a pink heart shaped note pad. The professor sees Elle"s as a bimbo and asks her a question, when Elle does not know the answer she kicks her out of the class. Elle feels very angry about being kicked out of class but on doing so, she meets up with Emmet (Luke Wilson).
