The Satire of

A Look at the plot:

  • Shrek's motives start out with him wanting to be left alone (irony)
  • Donkey sees Shrek as a friend (irony)
  • Shrek goes to complain to Lord Farquad about sending all of the fairytale creatures to his house, but ends up on a quest to save Fiona (irony)
  • Saves (kidnaps) Fiona and they end up falling for each other (more irony)
  • Fiona saves Shrek and Donkey from Robin Hood (irony)
  • Fiona chooses to remain an ogre for Shrek (even more irony)

  • sees Shrek as a friend even though he's rude 99% of the time
  • kind
  • not majestic at all
  • goofy
  • loyal
  • kindhearted
  • marries a dragon

A Look at Fiona (the princess)

  • strong and can defend herself (can fight)
  • *not* vain
  • actually traumatized by being left in a tower for all those years
  • smart
  • originally believes the "prophesy" but learns that things don't always go as planned
  • tries to be the dainty princess she's meant to be but isn't and embraces it in the end

A Look at Shrek (the "hero")

  • antihero
  • ugly
  • wants to be alone
  • rude
  • wants to be feared (evil, or at least not good)
  • crochety
  • good on the inside, but "bad" on the outside
