Presentation transcript:

Fairy Tales and Satire: Shrek Examples: Exaggeration Princess Fiona fights and successfully defeats Robin Hood and all of his Merry Men without any help and without any weapons. Incongruity Princess Fiona uses her ponytail to deliver a knockout punch to one of the Merry Men. While frozen in a mid-air martial arts kick, Princess Fiona pauses to fix her disheveled hair before knocking out two of the Merry Men. Reversal The roles of the hero and the damsel in distress have been reversed. In this clip, it is Princess Fiona, the rescuee, who fights and defeats the foe. Parody The fight scene is an exaggerated imitation of the martial arts style and special effects used in movies such as The Matrixand Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Robin Hood and his Merry Men also parody the musicals of West Side Story and Riverdance/ Lord of the Dance in their song.
