Megara!
Megara (Meg to her friends if she had any) is a strong female character in Disney's Feature Film , Hercules. She doesn't have any furry friends to keep her company (unlike most previous disney heroines! Think about it!!)
When we meet Meg she is in league with Hades, the God of the Underworld. She sold her soul to him in exchange for the life of the a man. Unfortunately, her love ran away with another woman, leaving Meg not only at the mercy of Hades, but also without any trust for men. She is a cynical, sarcastic character with a sharp tongue.
When Meg meets up with the dashing Hercules (Herc), a self proclaimed hero, she is less than impressed by his physical strength. She treats him with the same contempt that she treats all men.
As the film progresses Meg falls in love with Herc but won't admit it to anyone including herself. (She sings the beautiful song "I Won't Say" with the Muses... see below for the lyrics)
Hades uses Meg to trap Herc into giving up his powers so that Hades evil minions can take over Olympus. Meg gives her life so that Herc can recover his strength and save his father, Zeus, and the Gods.
Meg's soul goes to the underworld....
And no I won't tell you if everything ends happily ever after (It might not you know....remember Pocahontas!!)because you must see this film!

I WON'T SAY
Megara
If there's a prize for rotten judgement
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that.
The Muses
Who'd you think you're kidding,

Girl, ya can't conceal it,

Megara
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no
Muses
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it uh-oh
Megara
It's too cliche, I won't say I'm in love.
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when you start out
My head is screaming "Get a grip, girl, unless
you're dying to cry your heart out" Ohh..
Muses
You keep on denying, who you are and how you're feeling
baby we're not buying
hon, we saw you hit the ceiling.
Face it like a grown up,
when you gonna own up that you
got got got it bad
Megara
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no.
Muses
Give up, give in! Check the grin you're in love
Megara
This scene won't play I won't say I'm in love
Muses
you're doing flips, read our lips:
you're in Love!
Megara
You're way off base, I won't say it
Get off my case, I won't say it.
Muses
Girl, don't be proud, its okay, you're in love...
Megara
Ohh...at least out loud, I won't say im in love
