Merlin’s Morgana, Magic, and the Perils of Gaslighting

While, technically, the series never really presents Morgana or her actions as anything other than objectively evil and unnecessary, a combination of basic observation and Katie McGrath’s excellent performance makes it difficult to do much more than love her. She is full of violent fury and a kind of rage one only gets from a life of being lied to and threatened. She hates because she wanted so badly to be loved and the only reaction anyone ever had to her and her magic was to assume she was evil to her core.

Sometimes you cannot forgive those who wronged you. Sometimes you’ve just got to raise a little hell.
