User blog comment:Fimber/Your views on Morgana before she "changed"?/@comment-5204542-20120629145117

I was just watching the episode to Kill the King yesterday. Gwen's father would have ended up being executed anyway as Uther had made up his mind and is stubborn. Only on a few rare occasions Uther has  changed his mind. I believe Morgana wanted to avenge Uther by killing him on behalf of Gwen's father, her own "father"(Gorlois) and the millions off magical people he had persecuted. Morgana would also of thought that Arthur  being a better man than his father would cease harsh laws.

In my opinion Morgana has changed over the seasons like this, princess, to terrified sorceress, to witch princess/queen to witch. In all series she has been my favourite character and only ever remember liking an evil character in 2 other films.

In series 1+2 Morgana was very determined, not afraid to stand up to people but yet was kind hearted, just and courteous. She was only manipulative to Arthur and that was for good reasons. I agree that she did however show signs of being dark early on. In series 2 she revealed her magic and was afraid as she had no one to help or guide her with her magic. I think if Merlin had told Morgana he had magic and had guided her she would not be the person she is now. In episode 11 she plotted against Uther and was not scared even when he threatened her despite her being annoyingly scared the whole series. This shows how much Morgana loathed Uther. Morgana was true to her word of her disowning Uther. Every time that I have watched episode 12 ( The Fires of Idirsholas) except from the first time  I have cried because it feels like Morgana dies never comes back as when she comes back Morgana is a changed person.

Many people wonder how she changed so quickly and went from just trying to kill Uther to trying to kill a lot of people. She was away about a year with Morgause and that is more than enough time for a person to completely change. Also in the medieval times it wasn't rare for people to be killed as they were a lot more bloodier brutal times. Almost every character in Merlin has killed someone at some point in the series. In the Crystal Caves episode I felt if Uther admitted him being her father she might of had a chance of redemption. I don't really think she would have thought about the consequences of killing Uther but would have been so angry that she just rashly tried to kill him. All Morgana truly wants is to be accepted for who she is and for all magical people to be accepted. In series 4 though she partially forgets about this as she becomes completely immersed in taking the throne of Camelot.

Sorry of it is too similar to what other people have wrote.
