Excellently said Klitzow3055. Couldn't have put it better myself.

She also had the pleasure of listening to Uther's speeches about the evils of magic. Remember she also wasn't treated all that well by Uther, everytime that she defied him she was always locked in the dungeons etc. Imagine her shock and disgust when she found that out he was her father!

Here are two people who have magic and are very similar, but their upbringing was very different. Merlin had his Mother's love and also Gaius to ground him. Morgana had Uther. Maybe Merlin should have told her but I don't think that Merlin sharing his secret could have changed anything for the better. Even though she was manipulative herself, she was also easily manipulated by Alvarr and Morgause. I just don't think that it is all black and white. I am actually quite glad that he didn't tell her.
