Examples Of Exaggeration In Shrek

126 Words1 Page

The movie Shrek shows exaggeration through the characters of Shrek and Fiona. Shrek exemplifies exaggeration by pulling a large amount of earwax out of his ear to create a candle. The amount of earwax pulled from Shrek’s ear is abnormal to the amount of wax from a regular human. Shrek also takes a frog and turns it into a balloon for Fiona, and Fiona also picks up a snake and turns it into a balloon. Another example of exaggeration is when Fiona begins to sing with a bird and tries to sing louder than it. They continue competing to see who can sing the highest and overpower the other one. Suddenly, the bird blows up, and his feathers fly everywhere, which leaves Fiona as the winner.
