''Oh, and why isn't Gwen mad at Morgana for killing Elyan(misspelled above), she was fully aware that the sword had been enchanted by Morgana, she warned him to try to fight it. Why does she not blame Morgana, who has clearly hurt and killed many since she turned against Arthur et al. Had she wanted Arthur to be the one who fought the magical sword, so he would die? DId she blame Arthur for not being the one to succumbed?''

The key to this may lie in Guinevere's choice of words: she told Elyan that Morgana enchanted the sword to protect her.

If Guinevere was convinced that those in Camelot are her enemies, then Morgana's enchanted sword was all that was standing between her and being forced to return to live among the enemies in question. She could feel that Arthur manipulated Elyan into believing that he's the good guy and, as a result, her brother didn't realise that he was fighting on the wrong side. If that's the case, then she could view her brother's death as a tragedy but that it's not Morgana's fault for enchanting the sword to protect her, it's Arthur's fault for deceiving Elyan into thinking that he was doing the right thing by following Arthur and by fighting to bring her back to Camelot.
