You’re absolutely right, Uther does say all of these things. My point was, and I believe it is still valid, that by the time Uther says them, the damage to Arthur is done. For each of the quotes you have given I think another could be found in which Uther is really cruel to him. And he’s often cruel to Morgana too.

Please don’t think by all this that I don’t like Uther. I do, very much. He’s very human and a fascinating character. That’s what makes his weaknesses so tragic.
