Interesting blog post. I'm looking forward to the next ones about Lancelot and Uther since I think that especially Uther's story is the most tragic one and fits a greek tragedy the most.

As for the audience feeling pity for Morgana, I'm not sure about that. I know a lot of people who don't care about her anymore since she has become a caricature of herself and so unreal. I felt pity for her until the end of season two but ever since then I can't feel anything for her character and I really don't care anymore what happens with her. The reason is that I can't take her seriously anymore. Meanwhile I'm tremendously bored by her evilness. They completely destroyed this character by what they made of her.

And regarding "The Tears of Uther Pendragon" I can't remember that she thought for even a second that what she did was wrong. On the contrary, she took great pleasure in tormenting Uther and didn't show any remorse or a sign of a doubt or bad conscience. Plus, I doubt that she doesn't like what has become of her since she acts like enjoying her new role as an unreal villain.

The tragedy that once defined her character has completely vanished in my opinion because she is nothing like evil, mean and sadistic and there is no depth in her character anymore. I really wish the writers would have developed her character the way you see her and wrote about her here on this blog. It would have made the show and Morgana much, much more interesting and believable.
