  • Children of Dune takes place nine years after Dune Messiah. At this time the Empire is ruled by Princess Alia who maintains the regency until Paul's twins Leto and Ghanima come of age. Paul's twins are like no children that have ever lived before. In truth they are millions of years old, a perfect combination of genes, and a mother's heavy consumption of spice led these children to become preborn, forced into consciousness with all the memories of their ancestors.
    Although Alia was pre-born as the Twins were, she does not share their experience. The Twin’s connections to their past lives seem to be more fluid. Alia avoided the intricacies of her inner world and therefore did not possess the mental linkages that the twins had. For example, they were able to speak fluently in many ancient languages, whereas Alia would only be able to catch a word or two. Alia has now undergone the spice trance, and as a result, the unimaginable has happened. The very thing the reverend mother Gaius Helen Mohiam feared in book one, Abomination.

    Alia’s story never fails to break my heart. Consciousness forced upon her before birth, sister of someone completely unrelatable, abandoned by her mother, and victim to her mind. Especially how Messiah lulls you to think she can live a (somewhat) normal life with love.

      Near the end there's a point where Ghani feels the inner personalities clamoring to take over, but then feels her mother standing at the door to keep them shut out. I smiled huge at that part.. I like to think of Chani's ego memory protecting her daughter against what happened to Alia.. and to some extent Leto.

    Paul Atreides wasn't as concerned about the personal sacrifice of the Golden Path, but betraying his philosophy of not committing atrocities for the greater path of mankind. Leto's Fremen philosophy allowed him to allow evil acts in order to achieve the greater good. Such an interesting dichotomy, and allowing the Dune saga to be so morally complex.

      I'm a 70's child too. Read the Dune cycle many times but I didn't like the 1st three books from Herbert's son (House Corrino, Harkonnen and Atreides).
      The David Lynch adaptation wasn't that bad. For a project this big done in the 80's, I thought it was amazing, and I still do.
      I mean I get your point; there was many things that could've been better, but I'm pretty sure we would've disliked some parts of of Alejandro Jodorowsky's version too.
      You should watch the documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune". It's awesome!

      Can you imagine being Paul? You know the future, you know you are the cause of Trillions of people dyeing. This is the thing he knew it like he was the one killing them. Remember also if you kill 1 person your a murderer if u kill 10 billion it becomes a statistic. I dnt know how that would weigh on ur soul. Leto had billions of people to help him take the weight of ALL he had to do. I think Paul knew Alias terrible fate and he could do nothing to stop it. Remember he was the tool of fate, he could not escape it. He was trying to save ALL of humanity from some great enemy. But I do agree with u Alia is one of the most tragic characters in the entire series.

    These eloquent readings and explanations of these stories give me a profound appreciation of these novels which I am now itching to purchase. It also makes me love the movie even more. Its flaws and how it strays from the novel is completely excusable. I never knew the dune universe was soooo complex and intricate and to translate that into a 2 hour film was quite an accomplishment. Had Lynch poured all those intricacies into a 4 hour movie it would have bombed utterly even if the handful dune scholars at the time may have loved it.

    The fact that Pual refused the Golden Path (even though he couldn't see to the end of it) is very telling of his character. He had already seen and been the cause of too much death and destruction. I think because he was not preborn, he could not except the further destruction of his humanity. He would have rather seen humans die out on its own than be the cause of so much of its destruction for a possibility of survival. Leto II may be doing this for the right reasons, but has questionable morals. Paul is more of a hero in my eyes.

    Well that was bloody, well and truly, spectacular. Searching for Dune analysis/commentary a few months ago, I stumbled upon this channel and have been waiting with bated breath for this installment (my personal favorite Dune novel, btw). Worth every minute of waiting.
    And then... and then... along the way IOIAF dropped another glistening gem of a promise upon our laps: A treatment of Asimov's "Foundation". Once that gets going in earnest, to keep the content going I would also love, LOVE to see a treatment of The Culture books by Iain Banks.

The art you used, the editing, the reading parts - they simply bring me so much joy that I'd like to drop all the books I'm currently reading and start my Dune saga all over again. Terrific video, mate, you deserve tons of respect. My favorite part in this book was when Stilgar killed Duncan.

    I want to reread the books but can't find the time. This is a really nice middle ground. I can't watch the movies again because they just fuck with my experience of the books. That world just lives inside of me.
    I was backpacking through the middle east and had the books with me as my only entertainment. I stayed with Bedouin people in the sinai desert and only a few of them spoke English.
    So it was very introspective. Can you imagine what it was like to read dune in that environment? This was before phones and there wasn't even electricity. I would wait for the sun to come up so I could continue reading.
    Later I ended up at a kind of spiritual commune in the south Israeli desert. The desert was different over there and the commune was built on an old army base.
    They did army training in the desert nearby and at night you could see tank convoys or herds of camels. I continued the books over there.
    I dont think any reading experience can come close to that. The story of those books often fades, but the world was as much around me as inside of me

    Really, really high quality stuff mate!
    Absolutely incredible.
    Alia is my favourite Dune character. It's no surprise that she and Duncan fell in love - they did not choose their paths, but were the victims of the ambition of others. They were powerless against the power arrayed against them.
    Yet they loved, and sacrificed their love of each other for each other.
    Of all the characters in the book, I am the most sympathetic to her. And whilst she "succcumbed" to the abomination which destroyed her, there remained a tiny corner of her soul in which love still existed.
    And it was that corner of her soul still containing love that overcame the hateful abomination she had become. In the end it was love overcame the demon in her soul. Love sacrificed itself for the sake of love itself.
    The Duncan gholas were very different from that point on. Wearied, colder, resigned. Less human.
    Well that's my interpretation anyway!

      I think she knows the strength of Bene Gesserit training. To me, it seems like a calculated move that solves many problems at once. I'm guessing her main point is to turn him amenable to the Bene Gesserit cause, but also to serve as a lever; to Corrino, the educational value is immense. Jessica thus gains a foothold on their politics. Withhold it, and your heir will be lesser than before. Keep it, and he'll be immensely powerful. Both technically true, and beneficial to both parties.
