One of the differences between Shrek and Frankenstein's creation is that Shrek has been happy and content in his world for many years. He has no desire or apparent need for more. The Donkey (not unlike the serpent in Eden) makes him aware of a different, greater world possible. It is only then that Shrek finds his world inadequate.

Nice observation - though I don't know if Donkey and the serpent in Eden is the best comparison!
Yes and no. If I remember correctly, both the Donkey and the serpent worked in their own best interests.
