I am thinking about adding scholarly information under a new section called 'Themes in Shrek' on the Shrek page based on Jane Caputi's article 'Green Consciousness: Earth-Based Myth and Meaning in Shrek'. Below are the ideas I am thinking of adding.

'Themes in Shrek'

'Green consciousness' As a popular culture platform, the film Shrek engages with the tradition of 'green consciousness' and environmentalism. Green is the colour of Shrek's skin, as well as the swampland surrounding him. Concerns with green consciousness arise when Lord Farquaad exiles fairytale characters and denies Shrek from the swampland. Although starting as a solitary location, by the end of the film the swampland acts as a symbol of diversity and nature. The principles of green consciousness are celebrated in the positive representation of greenness against Farquaad's tyrannical actions.
