I KNOW you watched Narnia Prince Caspian, because that quote "If you get treated like an animal long, that's what you become" is one of my favorites.

I see your point with everyhting EXCEPT Merlin wants to rule and be revered. I think he has become unhealthily protective of Arthur, and unhealthily reliant on prophecies. We have to remember he is Emrys, but when he came to Camelot he was totally lost. The prophecies gave his life meaning, so its understandable that he would be very wary of going against them. I don't know where you got that he wants to rule... he could've done that ages ago.
