Shrek confesses his love for Fiona and Dragon ends up eating Lord Farquaad. Here Dragon serves as both a plot device to move the required characters to the convenient space for the story to progress but also as a form of punishment for the crime of forced marriage. It is evident that Fiona doesn't want to marry Lord Farquaad and because of the audience's sympathy for that we forgive the monstrous actions of Dragon such as eating the villain of the story. Where a dragon turning up and eating someone is usually an indicator that the dragon is the monster, this scene helps show us that monsters are made according to our judgement rather that objective properties about the monster.
