She is a princess and he is an Ogre which is seen to be completely out of his league or to ever happen. This story teaches people that to meet your romantic partner you should choose who your heart desires even if that person is looked at as "to good" for you. This story also shows that once you have found your romantic partner you should settle down, buy a house together, and then begin to start a family of your own. Fake love is when you love someone or begin to fall in love with someone because of the movies we see and the expectations they set. This movie and the characters in it, specifically Fiona mentions a lot of the time that she needs to have her happily ever after and that it has to be perfect. Happily ever after is a concept that comes about in the ending of every Disney movie. All the characters goals in the movies is to have a happily ever after ending with their prince charming. This influences Fiona's perception of what true love is and who you should fall in love with, prince charming, and not an Ogre or someone who is seen as "below" you. Movies such as Cinderella had influenced Fiona's perception on how her life should be when looking for a romantic partner and even how he should look.
