#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Why did Megara sell her soul in Disney's Hercules?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

In Disney’s Hercules, Megara (Meg) sold her soul to Hades, the Lord of the Dead, to save the life of the man she loved.

According to the details provided in the film:

The Sacrifice: Meg was once deeply in love with a young man. When his life was in jeopardy (it is implied he had died or was on the verge of death), she made a deal with Hades: her eternal servitude in exchange for his life/soul.
The Betrayal: Immediately after Meg saved him, the man proved to be unfaithful. As Meg bitterly explains to Hercules, the man "ran off with some babe" shortly after his life was restored.
The Consequence: Because of this betrayal, Meg was left bound to Hades as his prisoner and "henchman," forced to do his bidding to lure monsters and heroes to their doom. This experience is what fueled her cynical attitude toward men and her reluctance to fall in love with Hercules ("I Won't Say I'm in Love").

Hades frequently reminds her of this debt throughout the movie, referring to her as his "property" until she eventually earns her freedom through her sacrifice for Hercules at the end of the film.

#O MISSED POINTS & OVERSIGHTS

Hercules' Role in Resolution

The summary implies Meg's sacrifice directly earned her freedom. In reality, her sacrifice killed her, and Hercules had to perform a heroic act (diving into the Styx) to save her soul and free her from Hades.

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

▼

In Disney's Hercules, Megara sold her soul to Hades to save the life of her boyfriend, who was dying. However, shortly after being saved, the boyfriend betrayed her and left her for another woman (whom Hades refers to as "some babe"). This betrayal left Meg enslaved to Hades. She is ultimately freed not just by her own sacrifice (which results in her death), but by Hercules, who travels to the Underworld and risks his existence to retrieve her soul from the River Styx.
