Satire

How does this clip deviate (depart) fromt eh formula of a typical fairy tale?
This clip is different from normal fairy tales because it uses exaggeration, incongruity, reversal, and parody.  An example of exaggeration is when Fiona turns out to be a very formidable fighter.  Incongruity is used because there is an ogre and donkey in the same setting, and reversal is used because a princess is fighting her own battle when normally she would have an army to fight for her. Finally, parody is used because the Merry Men were imitating characters from Robin Hood.
