Basically I think its all the dragons fault. He is the one who told Merlin that Mordred was going to turn out evil, and Merlin reacted accordingly to that. BUT his actions caused Mordred to turn against him, Merlin trusts the dragon too much, he did not even consider that Mordred could be kept from turning bad, and that MADE Mordred turn bad. Mordred thinks that Merlin betrayed him for trying to get him killed at Alvarrs camp. And when Merlin saw Morgana with Mordred, he was immediately thinking Morganas evil too, just for giving the kid a hug! So really, its Merlin thinking Morgana was bad that turned her bad in the first place. I quote from Narnia Prince Caspian. "You get treated like a dumb animal long enought...thats what you become." and I adapt it to this. "You get reated like an enemy long enough...thats what you become." And it was the dragon who told him she was an enemy. So its the dragons fault.
