The result shows that 1) the theme of the story is true love. The theme had been developed between the two main characters they are Princess Fiona ad Shrek. Their true love was not love at first sight but love through a process of knowing each others. 2) This story made three shifts. It shifts the concept of charming, the concept of a princess figure, and the concept of ending. 3) The writer’s messages through the story were not to deify the face, to build a new stereotype of a woman, and to think out of the box. The conclusion of the study is that Shrek deconstructed the general concept of princess and prince by presenting its story outside the general way. This story shifted the general concept by presenting a different figure of princess and prince, and twisting the way of reaching the happy ending.
