djiange:少女革命モルガーナ〜 Guinevere and Morgana: la fillette révolutionnaire 〜 A friend told me a while ago that she didn’t understand how Morgana could be so cruel to Gwen who was once so dear to her. My take on this is that it’s exactly because Gwen was once so dear to her that Morgana is pained so much by Gwen’s endorsement of Pendragon regime, by her choice of the other side which denies Morgana’s being. I get Gwen’s pragmatic choice of settling for a marriage to an acceptable man in power given her predicament after her old master’s revolt and her father’s execution (also being the one with the least privileges as a commoner as well as a muggle among the main four) but still, a betrayal is a betrayal. it’s like that famous Baldwin quote “we can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.” (To be frankly I have no idea how people could downplay Morgana and Mordred and so many others’ sufferings with “Can’t we all just get along?”)If it was an (obnoxiously) Americanized Netflix show, Gwen would crusade against tyrannical Camelot because she finally understood JFK’s “freedom is indivisible” after her father’s unfair death. And she would likely be the one saving the world at the end of the day when Morgana was reduced to the opportunist-masquerading-as-activist kind of terrorist, and Merthur were busy playing house, pretending Arthur’s weight management and daddy issues or Merlin’s control freakiness was important than the Magical Lives Matter campaign or anything else. -- source link
