Summary/Abstract: This article applies the concept of the ‘heroine’s journey’ defined by Maureen Murdock in her book The Heroine's Journey: Woman’s Quest for Wholeness (1990) to the interpretation of Morgana, the character of the BBC’s series Merlin (2008-2012). The article follows Morgana’s quest for reconciliation with her feminine nature and concurrently how it was shaped by the Arthurian society and culture in this digital remediation.
