Because of this isolation from the community Shrek becomes scornful and hateful of other people. Shrek is sent on a journey to rescue Princess Fiona and he is accompanied by Donkey. Donkey is a key component to Shrek's transformation into a caring and accepting being. He teaches Shrek that "ogres are like onions, they have layers."
