User blog comment:Jessica 'juicy' May/Morgana always bad/@comment-5036924-20120126195502

I don't think she's bad at all underneath all the angry vengeance. She's definitely got some darker characteristics - she's defiant, calculating, ruthless, vengeful etc - but in essence I don't think she was ever supposed to be a truly evil character. I think they simply didn't do a good job in layering her character to show this. She's been quite one-dimensional in that she's just this rampaging villainess, but I think there's still hope for her to be a more conflicted, good AND bad character.

Remember that underneath it all what Morgana wanted was fairness. She didn't want innocent people to be punished by Uther, and she got sick of watching it happen. She has a twisted view of how to make the world a better place, but at the end of the day she IS fighting for what she thinks is a fairer Camelot. So no, I wouldn't say she was evil then or evil now. She just has a different version of right and wrong to Arthur. But she certainly did start off in much the same place as Arthur - wanting to protect innocent people, wanting to help her friends, caring about Camelot, fighting against injustice. She just ended up going in a radically different way to him because of her circumstances.
