In Every Fucking Episode, especially in season 5, Merlin is like, “things won’t always be like this, one day things will be better.” About magic being free, but he has ignored Every Single Opportunity to connect the dots and see that the time is now or never, the Golden Age of Camelot has been established, and Arthur needs to embrace magic, AND YET

Cause by season 5 the priority for Merlin becomes keeping Arthur alive, and not bringing magic back to Camelot

And, to me, that’s the heart of the tragedy. Merlin fails to achieve either goal for that very reason. Like, if he had focused on fulfilling the prophecy he would have succeeded. He and Arthur would have ushered in the Golden Age with magic. But the prophecy also included Arthur’s death. So Merlin switched up his goals on the final leg of the journey. He actively worked *against* the prophecy the had been trying to uphold, hoping to save Arthur. But Arthur dies anyway. So Merlin has failed twice over. It’s like a Greek tragedy, where resisting fate just makes everything worse actually.

I think the *worst* thought, though, is that Merlin probably would have made better choices had he just said “screw destiny” early on and did what he felt was right. Like, if he had never heard of the prophecy at all? He probably would have told Arthur about his magic much sooner. He wouldn’t have betrayed Mordred. And he probably would have become friends with Morgana, and they would have shared their magic with each other. All of those things would have made what happens in the end so much less likely.

But, Merlin DOES hear about the prophecy. And even though he struggles with it, he takes for granted that Morgana and Mordred will end up as enemies. Takes it for granted that Kilgarrah and Gauis know best about the *timing* of this whole prophecy thing. But in the end, he COULDN’T take for granted that the prophecy included Arthur’s death. By the time he does that, though, the whole machinations for Arthur’s death have been set, so he keeps letting the paths to the OTHER part of the prophecy go by him as he tries to STOP the prophecy.

I feel like the tragedy of Merlin is Merlin saying “fuck destiny” WAY too late and thereby sealing his (and Arthur’s) doom.

It's extremely sad watching how Merlin becomes less and less confident regarding his own judgment. When Morgana first started showing signs of having magic, his first instinct was to help her by revealing something she could relate to. But both Kilgharrah and Gaius convince him otherwise, and Merlin just... obeys. He fights them a little, but then he turns a blind eye. Something that the Merlin from the previous season would never have done.

Merlin, at the beginning of the show, was portrayed as someone who stood up for what he believed in, no matter who he had to fight in order to do what he thought was right. But as the seasons went by he lost that part of himself until he became a shell of what he used to be. We no longer have the clumsy and innocent kid we had at the start, we have a man who is so traumatized by destiny that he stops thinking for himself altogether. And at the very end, Merlin was the one who built that destiny, no one else to blame. By pushing Morgana away, not trusting Mordred and not believing in Arthur's growth, he managed to self-fulfil the prophecy that killed them all.

Throwback to last year at the Louvre when I saw a little girl sitting on the ground looking up to the statue of the goddess Athena. Probably the most Renaissance-like and powerful picture I ever took.
