Merlinfan, a rightfull king is the elder male, born on the right side of the bed (a daughter can get an access to the throne only if there is no son). In the legend, Arthur was an adulterous child, that's why he had to pull out Excalibur to make the knights and the kings yield (see Malory for example). Morgana is a woman, born on the wrong side of the bed, she has no right to the throne. Besides, she can't succeed, because, in fact, the key point is to make the people yield and you can't make them yield by burning their crops. The key issues for Morgana is the recognition, recognition as Uther's daughter, recognition of her magic. Uther refuses to recognize her as a daughter; Gaius denies her skills. The two father figure failed her and abandoned her. This made her angry against the entire world. It's understandable.
