Morgan is portrayed differently in just about every
version of the Arthur tales I've read or seen in film.
Sometimes she's a beautiful temptress with an evil
heart, sometimes a gluttonous creature who seduces men
by feeding them (I think of Circe luring men and then
turning them into swine), sometimes she's an ugly hag.
I can't get enough of the Arthurian stuff. Mirren as
Morgan in Excalibur was the best part of the film IMO
- the part I most remember at any rate.
