    When Shrek brought up the whole onion layer thing, he actually meant the emotional layers within him. While he's a grouchy and ugly ogre on his outer emotional layers, his inner layers are what he really is, a caring, warm, and friendly person who was forced to have a misunderstood life

    By our standards Shrek's parents were horrible. But remember, they were ogres. That's likely the way they were raised, as were their parents, and the cruelty is to get them used to the harsh treatment they will receive from the outside world.

      It sucks but you're right. In that world an ogre couldn't have those kinds of expectations, it would only lead to dissapointment and possibly their death with how agressive people are towards them.

      In the Shrek spin off series “The Adventures of Puss in Boots” you see an episode of a different ogre living in a mansion. The ogre told Puss in Boots he wanted to live in a mansion, so he broke in and kicked out the mansion's owner then ate all the servants.

      But when you think about it in that timeline those Ogres were forced to unite and break their tradition because a high superpower was too powerful for any Ogre to fight alone!
      In the real timeline without that superpower the Ogre's were miles from each other in their own worlds and had no need to seek each other out or know of each others existence. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't have united if Fiona hadn't saved herself from the tower and set out to avenge her parents!

      He was often mocked for being short and like Shrek said he was compensating. He likely went through the same ridicule Shrek went through and developed in an inferiority complex that he tried to hide by bullying others and displaying his power. Shrek merely wanted to be left alone and live a quiet life. Shrek spent most of his time guarding his home while Farquaad wanted to force people out of their homes and take everything for himself.

It's an interesting, beautiful story especially how it puts more appreciation about the people who's born in a way that triggers insecurity and loneliness.
    Despite how little he thinks of himself deserving happiness and love, he ended up marrying a princess who changed herself to be with him and have a family with her.

    What makes it interesting is if you think deeper about it, it almost seems like a perpetual cycle of hostility. The humans view the ogres as monsters and treat them as such, so the ogres begin raising their young to expect that hostility and do what is necessary to scare off would-be attackers, but that fearsome and horrifying image only serves as confirmation to the humans' misconception of what ogres are, which leads to them increasing their hostility and reducing the possibility of sympathizers, which leads to the ogres taking up even more extreme lessons to their children so that they can survive the hostility they'll inevitably be exposed to, which comes right back around to becoming even more monster-like to unintentionally fit the narrative humans imposed upon them in the first place.
    Inevitably, you end up with a situation where, generations later, nobody is really right or wrong. The humans who started the misconception very likely aren't around anymore, which leaves the modern day humans, who had no control over what their ancestors did, and can't be blamed for going by what they're taught and what they witness that confirms the validity of their teachings, and the ogres similarly can't be blamed for going by what they're taught to survive the inevitable hostility, which is inevitably confirmed by the humans who rally together to try to fend them off.
