User blog comment:Dryuuu/Why didn't Morgana tell Uther about Merlin poisoning her.../@comment-4650675-20120316112316

Morgana had a lot of chances in series 3 to get rid of Merlin. As you said, she could tell Uther that he tried to poison her and if he refused it that would only make things worse for him! There are many reasons as to why she did not do so. First of all, she may not hate him, even after poisoning him, or maybe she still remembers how they used to be, like he did on 4x06 when he couldn't bring himself to kill her. On the other hand, she may just wanted to learn why the heck he tried to kill her, before killing him. Or she would want him to die at her hand, not Uther's, since she wanted to have some personal revenge. Then again, she only wanted the necessary sacrifices to be made and she thought Merlin was "just a servant" so he wasn't a threat to her plans. It's difficult to tell what Morgana is thinking all the time, so I really don't know what else it could be. Another example of this is when she used magic on 3x05 to send him flying. She had him unconscious, completely at her mercy, with a dagger on her robe but did nothing againist him. Even in series 4 she hesitated and talked big too much but in the end she did nothing to have him killed. Hard to tell how she thinks isnt it?
