Another factor causing lack of acceptance can be found in Shrek the Third, where it is revealed that Shrek's father tried to eat him ("I guess I should have seen it coming. This implies that he became a recluse after trying and failing to find acceptance among others. People take one look at me and go 'Aah! Help! Run! A big stupid ugly ogre!' They judge me before they even know me.
In Shrek, during a conversation with Donkey, he laments that he is constantly judged by the outside world the minute people meet him, and is thus better off alone ("Look, I'm not the one with the problem, okay? It's the world that seems to have a problem with me.

In the book, his parents threw him into a dark hole that leads to the real world.Īfter scaring away an angry mob, he arrives at his swamp, enters an outhouse, and literally breaks out as the adult Shrek. The only time he receives a pleasant greeting is a wave from a young Fiona, who is promptly led away by her parents. (The original book also has his parents evicting him from their swamp.) He is seen traveling alone, being either screamed at or teased by passers-by.

In Shrek Forever After, however, it is revealed that he is much smaller than the average ogre. Shrek is a gigantic, green-skinned, physically intimidating ogre with a Scottish accent.
