Hero

1) Call to adventure:
Shrek lived a normal life in his swamp until one day Lord Farquaard sends all the fairy tale creatures to live in his swamp. Shrek sets out to go and pick a bone with Farquaard, and eventually gets sent off on a mission to rescue princess Fiona, which he begrudgingly accepts.

2) A road of trials:
  • Ultimate goal to get his swamp back
  • Shrek has to fight off Lord Farquaard's men
  • Dealing with Donkey and the annoyance he presents
  • Rescuing the princess from the dragon
  • Deciding whether to tell Fiona about his feelings for her
  • Battling with his hurt from what he overhears Fiona saying about ogres being ugly
3) Achievement of the goal:
He regains his swamp, but in the end, he also wins back Fiona and defeats his enemy (Farquaard).

4) Return to the ordinary:
Shrek and Fiona ride away on the dragon, starting to live a new life together.

5) Application of the boon:
By spending time with Fiona, Shrek has become a more kindhearted creature and is able to apologise. He also learns that people are defined by more than just the way they look.
