Where Merlin's motivations for standing up to Arthur are more often than not from a personal place, Gwen's constant starting point when pushing Arthur comes from her opinions on how those in power should lead, and her hopes for the future of Camelot. Each lesson she tries to teach is in the hope of helping Arthur become a king worthy of the loyalty of the people - which is also the type of king he himself constantly strives to be.
Too true. I like that Gwen is more a big picture thinker right now than Merlin and both of them are good for Arthur in different ways.
Thanks for all the fanfic, fan art, and video recommendations as I haven't had a chance to see some of yet.
