User blog:Fimber/Gwen's opinion about magic?....

For a long time I have been wondering what Gwen thinks about magic. We have never seen on the show what her thoughts on this subjects are. We know that she felt indifferent towards Uther because he had her father being killed and sentenced her to death twice. She kept telling Arthur that he was a better man than his father - something, by the way, I found very tactless because she was talking about Arthur's own father after all and he obviously never objected - but I think it has never been clarified wether she was talking about the fact that her father's death was Uther's doing or about his hunt on magic. Or maybe about his opinion about servants.

Gwen is one of the most important characters and queen now - but we don't know what she thinks about magic or the ban of it. Shouldn't they have given her an opinion about the main theme on the show? Her father died because he was accused of having used magic, so I wonder if this made her disliking or fearing magic or the opposite, feeling sympathy for magical people? When Uther blamed her of having used magic, did she understand his motives despite her fear for her life and did she support the law or not? And when she figured that Morgana had magic, she seemed to be concerned that Morgana may have become a threat but she didn't tell anyone except Gaius. So was she afraid of magic or was she only afraid that Morgana could be sentenced to death if Uther ever learnt about her powers?

When Gwen took care of Uther for a year, did she ever question the law and the ban of magic after everything that Uther had done to her and now that she was forced to take care of him, or was she convinced that despite what Uther had done to her, the law was necessary after everything that happened with Morgana? She never even questioned Arthur's continuation of the ban.

I think it's really about time to give Gwen a straight opinion about magic instead of keeping it all in the dark.
