Atreides And The Arrakis Analysis

1064 Words5 Pages

I thought that the main conflict was between the house of Atreides and the house of Harkonnens. The conflict was for the spice on the planet Arrakis as it is the most valuable trading source in the universe. The Harkonnens desired for the planet Arrakis while the Atreides got it. The Harkonnens would make plans to destroy the Atreides or have them hand Arrakis to them. However, the Atreides resisted and defended themselves from the Harkonnens. The climax was the part of the story that had the most action. I think that the climax of the story was when the Emperor and the Harkonnens invaded Arrakis. I think this because that was when the conflict got attempted to resolve. This was the ultimate attack where it was obvious that there would be …show more content…

There could be one celebrity who is not as popular as the other and get labeled as an attention seeker, attacker, or just the “bad person” just because he/she is not as famous. The fans of the more popular person (who has more fans then the “less popular” person) would just almost automatically side with the more popular celebrity just because they are their fans. The better-known celebrity could also get more interviews where he/she could get everyone to think from his/her perspective and have the fans all biased to think that he/she is the good person. In reality, the less known celebrity could be the victim or the “good person”, but because there are more people on the well known celebrity’s side and perspective, the villain becomes the good …show more content…

One of the themes are religion because the Bene Gesserit are familiar with many different languages and cultures, showing that there are many different religions in the world of Dune. Paul also learns and follows the culture of the Freman to survive in the desert. Power is also a theme of dune because the conflicts in the story were all for power. Paul was doing everything he could to have the most power possible, while the Harkonnens were making it harder for Paul by fighting Paul for the power he had. A less major theme was fear. In order to gain power, the characters had to make others fear them. With a lot of violence fear was felt throughout the story. Another less major theme is family. The different houses were different families and they fought as families to be the most powerful house. Paul and his mother had to fight for the house Atreides after Duke Leto died. Lastly, gender roles were a theme in the book because many of the different titles/roles were restricted to certain genders. For example, all the Bene Gesserit were women and all the “leaders” of the houses were men. Women would be married off for alliances or “assistants” and the men would be trained as

These themes are shown to be very effective in the story because most males demand power, authority and respect. The main theme from my perspective is the hunger for power; authority and respect are the dominant themes because everyone demands them at least one time in the story. Reverend Parris is hungry for power and worries little about others. Parris ' repeats demonstrations of exceedingly selfish behavior in numerous cases. A prime example of wanting to have power and thinking only of him is when he asks for the deed to the house he lives in.

I would say that there is only one climax in the entire book. I think that this climax is when at the end of the book when they are at Hatch’s island and are fighting the entire elgen. I think that this is the climax because it was the most interesting part.

They were winning at one point but then started to lose more and more each minute.

Women are depicted as “trophy” to men and nothing more. Throughout the epic a sense of bravado and machoism is played out, giving off a man’s world feeling which women and little or no real reason to be wanted. To understand the epic and the roles in which women played, one may not have to look further than how the book has been put together. First and foremost, the book is being told through the eyes of a man (good luck ladies).

I believe the author wanted to show us that men are not perfect to begin with and even at a young age (like the characters in the novel) the boys struggle with responsibility, maturity, and respect. So, would the story be different if the characters were all female? In this essay I will compare differences on boy and girl characters in the novel and I will replace a character from Lord of the Flies with a female counterpart. Giving details on how she looks, acts, what motivates her to do the things she does, and how would life on the

Well, it was not a stretch to presume how the author depicted gender roles in that period of time. The men firmly believed that a woman's place was in the home, not on a battlefield. Vianne, could be thought of a woman who stood by her “expected” role in society. After all, she did not draw attention to herself, she lived a simple teacher and was just a relatively normal housewife. In contrast, Isabelle, whom always had a disregard for the rules, burned her own path, not allowing anyone to convince her otherwise.

At that time in history, the status quo and social norm was simple. Patriarchy was the predominant force as men were regarded as superior to women, both in society as well as the relationship scene. Shakespeare attempted to change this perception through his multiple works of literature. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, William Shakespeare uses the theme of gender roles to express the idea that the status quo and social norm in the Elizabethan era can be challenged through courtship, father-daughter relationships, and wedlock. The play commences with the courtship of multiple individuals.
