User blog comment:It's Good to be the Queen/Pendragon Family Reunion/@comment-2190640-20121014234217

Maybe her brain was addled by the hemlock poison or maybe Morgause performed some spell to be certain of Morgana's loyalty. We also don't know if Uther manhandeled his daughter just once so much happens of screen. Uther is a pretty angry individual himself. Morgana has of course done gruesome things by choice but it wasn't all her fault she never had a kind mentor like Merlin did. Gaius could've aided her as well he knew she had powers and did nothing like with so many other good sorceres he knew he turned a blind eye. As for Merlin he's not evil naturally but he has become somewhet of a zealot trusting in all those visions & prophesies that he then fulfills himself. Can we honestly say that when Morgana disscovered her magic and came to Merlin that helping her wouldn't have made all the difference?
