User blog comment:Morganaforever/Why NOT to hate on Morgana/@comment-85.237.212.236-20121013125439/@comment-5102537-20121013144447

She is completely and undoubtedly described as a psychopath or sociopath. We had this discussion earlier and there were some links that described the emotional state and behaviour and symptoms of sociopaths and psychopaths. I'm not saying this to insult this fictional character, it is a fact and I think it's a shame that they went down that route, wether intentionally or unintentionally. If you are interested, I'll be looking for the links again. Maybe you see the similarities.

As for Gorlois, I think it was evident when Morgana had never ever spoken about this subject before even though she has already been living in Camelot for at least eleven years or longer. She also never referred to it again, so it was intentionally shown to the viewer that she used this situation to manipulate Uther. This very comment of hers brought Uther to the point where she wanted him to be because only because of what she intentionally accused Uther of, he wanted to make peace with Morgana on this case and suggested to travel to Gorlois' grave with her, the very place where Tauren was waiting for them in order to kill Uther. If Morgana had been convinced that Uther murdered her father, she wouldn't have waited until this unpredictable situation but had shown him long before that she is blaming him. Especially kids make absolutely no secret of what they feel in such situations. Morgana came to Camelot when she was around ten years, so she would have told him earlier and even more so after it when her hatred grew even stronger. It's also absolutely evident by the look of her face when she realises that Uther had taken the bait. At the grave, she complained about Uther being hot tempered and strict, putting her in chains and having killed Gwen's father but no word about him having "mudererd" Gorlois. This subject was done, she had what she wanted to have and it wasn't really blaming or accusing Uther for Gorlois' intentional death. She forgave him because he reassured her of his love and respect for her, apologised for his harsh behaviour and also regretted that he had killed Tom, saying that he was wrong about it. No Gorlois here.

All the other things I have listed, the things she had done to everyone are not opinions or interpretations but facts. Things that indeed happened on the show (like causing wars, killing Uther, torturing Merlin, Uther, the knights etc...) They are not disputable, she did all that.

As for feeling Uther' s 'pain, there was just this short scene where she told it Aggy but no sign whatsoever that she regretted just anything or that she even remembered him fondly or that she regretted that things hadn't been different. Nothing. I don't know where you saw her being sentimental about her realtionship with Uther.

I value your opinion too and as I said before, I wish the writers had described Morgana the way you see her because she would be a much, much more interesting character if you had invented her ;-) Really, I'm convinced you would have done a much better job!

However, facts or my own opinion have never depended on what the supposed majority (especially on forums) think. People tend to forgive the most atrractive ones much more than those they have come to dislike from the very beginning. We can see it with Gwen and Arthur who both make a lot of mistakes and meanwhile act questionable, as well as Merlin. Whatever they do or will do, their fans will never see the bad sides on them.
