    I believe the Reverend Mother is neither good nor evil. She is the product of the Bene Gesserit breeding and training program. She is playing the role that was laid out for her centuries ago.

    The Lady Jessica is the daughter of Baron Harkonnen and Reverend Mother Mohiam. The Baron was a homosexual and this is why his heir was his Nephew. The Bene Gesserit needed the baron's offspring for their breeding program but since he would not willingly participate in the BG plot; they had to Blackmail him by threatening to reveal his illegal stockpiles of spice to the Emperor. Mohiam, then a breeding sister, was chosen to collect the sample and birth a female child. The baron was so enraged by this blackmail that he raped her, savagely. During the assault Mohiam deliberately passed on to the baron a virus, that made him grotesquely fat and sickly, as a punishment for his attack. Jessica only discovered who her mother was when she underwent the spice agony and gained access to her genetic memories. Paul also became aware of this after he took the water of life but his sister Alia knew this when she was born.

    • @sigma80
      @sigma80 Рік тому

      Mohiam was drugged with a paralyzing drug. I really wouldn't try to rape a Bene Geserit in that universe. Especially a full Reverse Mother.
      She wouldn't kill him, because the results of the breeding program (Jessica might of been a poor breeding result.) but he would KNOW what she did to punish him.
      I think the Baron would of been fat, disease or not. The disease degeneration made him worse.
      Herbert has a mention of how the rich (As a Bene Geserit observation.) become jaded, bored, and "Seekers after sensations" and worse the longer they live.
      That describes the Baron quite well. Sad thing is he's a "human", or the Bene Gesserit would be very unlikely to use him for breeding in secret (He knows nothing of Jessica as his child.) if he wasn't human.
      He just closes to consciously be bad and evil.

      I was thinking about one plot hole within the "accessing memories and talking to ancestors and succumbing to their consciousness" think the bene gesserit and abomnations have: If your mom, an ancestor of yours, is still alive, how does the "talking to your ancestors" work if they are alive and the new memories they are making after your own creation with their genetics work?
      Your mom's genetic memory is within you, there are instances where ancestors take over the minds of the weak descendants, how and who would take you over if your mom is going to take you over through her genetic memory within you, but at the same time, is still alive standing next to you physically? Would the situation end up with having two moms coexisting? Or 1 mom having an expanded existence with her own body and additionally the mind she took over?

Paul was the gateway for Leto 2, the almost eternal God emperor who held humanity hostage for millennia and caused death in unimaginable scale. Had Jessica done as she should, Leto wouldn’t exist. Would humanity if they didn’t follow the golden path?? Unknown, but the suffering of millions rests squarely on the defiance of a woman who loved her consort. The author never fails to impress 😊.

      His son (Frank Herbert's) and Poul Anderson's son wrote the sequels to the six "Dune" novels.
      While nowhere near as well written as Frank's books you see where Herbert was leading to.
      Sadly the "Golden Path" was Leto's only real choice, which Paul rejected.
      I know Leto's justifications seem thin and cruel in the books, but Siona was the result (Genetically) humanity had to have to survive in the future.
      I wish Frank had of been able to finish his masterpiece and show where it was going.
      His outline was lucky to be found and his son and his writing partner did they best they could with the material.

    Several of the films or series, that I never talk while watching, because the first 2, a fair bit of the third book, and a little bit of the folliowing 2, and just barely the sixth book, are things that I loved. They way I describe my love of the series is, "I've read them so many times I have that shit damn near eidetic." there are undoubtedly people who know about the EU of Dune which I found dissapointing, but the original 3, and then following 3, are the only canon.
    My wife never read the books, but we have seen all of the movies together, including the Mini-Series which is great, and I didn't say a word, because anything I said would be a spoiler.

    Fun facts about Dune;
    1) there are zero aliens. All organisms have DNA origins from the planet earth, even the spice worms.
    2) the Bene Gesserit are actively working on multiple Kwisatz Haderach lineages, aiming to be in control of them.
    3) the Bene Gesserit sisterhood has the same powers as the Kwisatz Haderach, but have primed the universe to follow a man as a secret form of galactic control.
    4) the galaxy is in a state of stagnation where the overarching goal of humanity as a whole is to escape the systems of control.
    5) spacing guild members, Freman, the Bene Gesserit, and anyone other being with extensive spice exposure all have a connection to other-memories and prescient visions, which strengthens their zealous beliefs with their affiliation (as they see the paths that benefit themselves and their respective groups).
    6) multiple factions in the universe are all independently leading to a place where all human information is connected and temporally shared.

    Actually, finding out that Mother Gaius Helen being Jessica's mother and Paul's Grandmother isn't too outrageous a revelation? As, part of the story arc was described in some of the later books. In Dune Sisterhood, it explains that many of the girls who study at the Bene Gesserit School on Wallach XI, were in fact the daughters of other sisters and Reverand Mothers.
    After the story arc of Dune, we learned about the secret Bene Gesserit Breeding Program; which was considered controversial because the Sisterhood was violating the Butlerian Jihad mandate against using a computer database to keep track of the genetic samples.
    In the later Dune Novels we see that many of the future Reverand Mothers in the Dune Universe, are descendents of Paul Atreides himself.

      @@timothymoore6341 Yeah, Sian was great, very intimidating. Hellen was too young in 1984, but she'd be great now. BGs are supposed to be beautiful with all those aristocratic genes in them. Hellen is still gorgeous in her 70s. Charlotte was gorgeous but now she looks sleepy.

    The 1984 movie is in my opinion the best rendition of Dune and the actress who played the Reverend mother play the role very well. I forgot her name but it seemed like she had some theatrical training.

      no. a sister does not use the force. she pitches her voice to speak directly to the subconscious mind of her target, bypassing conscious control. There is nothing in a Jedi's training that would allow them to resist the voice. I believe that no jedi would be a match for a reverend mother or sister.
