Shrek’s Robin Hood Scene


Seeing a beautiful and fragile princess fighting in the style of The Matrix may be either funny or disappointing. Most children have grown up with fairy tales with the beautiful princess waiting for her charming prince to rescue and protect her. Usually, the princess has a strong belief of true love and lives happily ever after. It is not common to have a princess fight to protect the knight who rescues her. Now, women prefer to be treated with the same basic rights as men under most circumstances. The reason why I selected the scene in which Princess Fiona fights and defeats Robin Hood and his men for my critical analysis is because this scene is symbolic of breaking stereotypes. I believe that this specific scene represents a new model of strong and smart princesses.
