    When Fiona is prepared to marry Lord Farquaad, the marriage is stopped by Shrek, Donkey, and the Dragon. Again, we think that this is the symbol of a revolution and rebellion against the upper class. The Dragon, which shares the same values as Donkey, swallows Lord Farquaad which symbolizes the end of a Fascist regime; however, this is not exactly the happy revolutionary ending that the film gives.

    At the end of the movie, when Fiona transforms into an ogre, she is not transforming into a proletariat figure, instead, she is putting on her last façade which will lure in Shrek who is already susceptible to liberal reforms. Shrek henceforth falls for the idea of happiness created by the bourgeoisie.

    At the end of the movie, everyone is celebrating even though Fiona is a part of the class that has been oppressing them for so long. This is an indication that the working class is accepting oppression by celebrating the politicians and the regime that are oppressing them.

      They had a February revolution, they fail to recognise the need for an October revolution.

          I was just about to say this. They literally become assimilated into the ruling class in every possible way. And rather than overthrow that structure in the end, they settle for partial assimilation

            Shrek 3 completes their assimilation, and Shrek 4 is about convincing the audience that launching a revolution would have been a bad idea all along and it's a good thing that they didn't do it.
