User blog comment:It's Good to be the Queen/5 x 09 - the end of the Gwen/Morgana "friendship"/@comment-5621713-20121129151601

There has been a big question about what exactly Morgana did to get control of Gwen. Most people say that she was broken in the Dark Tower (even though the scene before the one where Elyan was killed has Gwen standing strong ) and brainwashed, not enchanted. So, is she under a spell that makes her convinced that Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights are not her friends, and that the only one she can trust is Morgana. Or was she broken eventhough we didn't see it, and had a Stockholm like syndrome?The Gwen we all knew and loved was strong, wise, and not afraid to speak her mind. Yet when she is in the Mandrake Root Room, her deepest fears of people laughing at her and teasing her might have revealed that she really has some insecurities about being Queen. Though I remember a very confident Gwen advising Agravaine. Anyway, the question remains, what exactly did Morgana do to Gwen to turn her against the love of her life, and all her friends. Can it be undone or broken? And how will it effect Gwen and Arthur['s relationship?
