In Merlin, Morgana represented the very best of female corruption and villainy on screen, and now Renegade Nell's Sofia is picking up the baton.
, Morgana Pendragon took her final shuddering breath after being stabbed by her once-friend Merlin , ran through with a dragon-kissed sword. But prior to her untimely demise, Morgana represented the very best of female corruption and villainy on screen. Seduced by the call of dark magic, radicalized by a mentor figure, and ultimately shunned and abandoned by those closest to her in her quest for equality and liberation, Morgana remains one of TV’s greatest bad witches.
Her downward spiral is swift and drastic, shifting from the once-quiet woman who seemed conflicted at her brother’s cruel actions in the first episode to a ragingly powerful witch bent on murdering Nell. The series’ most shining achievement with its central villainess is the depth she’s given and the layers that are so skillfully injected into her every scene. On the surface, Sofia’s obsession with Nell stems, of course, from the fear of losing everything.
By stepping into the dark arts, Sofia follows in Nell’s footsteps, but in a distinctly opposing way. Nell’s power thrives out of respect and love; Billy imbues her with her abilities in order to give her the strength to challenge and change the world for the better, all while protecting her family along the way. Sofia’s power blossoms out of desperation and jealousy, imposing her will upon others in order to command those with less power in the same way men within this society do.
