Good blog post Chris, while Morgana is a perfect definition of a tragic heroine, Uther is a pure example of a tragic hero and I think he seemed more tragic than Morgana because Series 3 totally butchered Morgana's character with all that smirking and she showed no sign of her former self (Series 4 was an improvement though but I don't get why she showed sadness for Uther, a man she hated, for Lancelot a man she barely knew but showed no sadness or hesitation at killing innocent people, it didn't make much sense). With Uther, his character changed pretty slowly, from a bitter and cruel person in Series 1, becoming more flawed and human in Series 2 and 3, and finally into a broken man in Series 4, and that made him more interesting to watch. Thats what I think.
