User blog comment:Jessica 'juicy' May/Morgana always bad/@comment-4650675-20120127112922

Morgana was a compassionate, warm and friendly character at the beginning. I agree, it was evident from the first episode that she had her problems with Uther's ways, but she was not evil. Nor is she now. There are just some events that greatly traumatised her. The first one is Gorlois' death while Uther was able to save him. She grew up under the man whom she thought of her father's murderer. He also killed hundreds of people just because it is possible they practised magic. Meanwhile, she always had the fear that she had magic because of her dreams and thought that she would be killed. Whenever she tried to help Arthur, Uther or anyone else, they thought she was crazy or just exaggerating, like 1x13. Gaius didn't help her either, he just gave her heavier drugs whenever she had visions.

Other events significant to her radical change where Arthur's ignorance about what was troubling her. She couldn't turn to him, since he was Uther's son, and he paid little attention at her during season 2, when she most needed him.At the same time, he had killed a big number of druids on 2x03 which probably terrified her. Uther was not changing, Arthur couldn't care less about her(according to her) and Merlin, the only one who knew her secret, poisoned her. This was what had the biggest impact on her. Morgause saved her and stayed with her for two years. She would definitely brainwash Morgana about how all the people she once loved now hated her kind and wanted her dead. Even so, Morgana's goodness hasn't completely vanished and deep down she is just trying to be accepted for what she really is. She has noone to be loyal to, as she has stated, and now that Morgause is dead she is all alone. However, now that Morgause is dead, Morgana somewhat comes to her senses about what's right and wrong, which means she has a chance to be redeemed.

Long comment, I know, but she seriously is the character with the most delevopment and backstory in the show!
