Groundhog Day as Comedy

As we've learned in class, the key element of comedy as a genre is harmony. It has been noted that comedy moves from "confusion to order; from ignorance to understanding; from law to liberty; from unhappiness to satisfaction; from separation to union; from barrenness to fertility; from singleness to marriage; from two to one."

Choose any three (3) aspects of that definition, and apply it to Groundhog Day using a specific example from the film for each. For instance, briefly discuss how the film moves "from confusion to disorder," "from barreness to fertility," and "from two to one" by giving a specific example for each.
