Among many local tyrants, there is a Duke Cui Di. Cui Di's family has always occupied great power and occupied a high position in the empire. Perhaps because of his great influence, the king felt that it would threaten his rule, so he found an excuse to remove Atlette's fief and demote it to an abandoned planet, Aragis.
The Duke of Cui Di was exiled to Aragis, far away from the ruling center, which can reassure the king, because Aragis is mostly a desolate desert. But Aglac Sixing produces Melange, which is a kind of perfume, and it is a specific medicine for treating diseases of the elderly. Having this substance means having the greatest wealth.
This caused the jealousy of Baron Hakkennan, the enemy of Cui Ya Dee, who tried every means to seize the planet from Cui Ya Dee. He persuaded the king to lend his invincible Shaduka army to launch a fierce attack on Aglac. Although Cui Ya Dee and his army tried their best to resist, there was no hope of victory, and Cui Ya Dee finally committed suicide. After Aragis was captured by the Legion, it became the territory of Baron Hakani. In this transformation, Liet-Kynes, a semi-Freeman planetary ecologist respected by Freeman people, was also murdered by Harkenny.
Cui Di's son Paul and his mother Shesika escaped in the melee. Paul is only a teenager, but his heart is full of revenge. They fled into the desert and met Freeman, a free man living in the desert.
Freemen, these freemen, can be said to be people outside the law in the empire. They have strong fighting capacity and are a nation with great unity spirit. They have lived in the desert for a long time, built many caves in the hinterland of the desert and lived underground.
Young Paul made a lot of efforts to make Freeman people accept him as one of them. When accepting an ancient ceremony of Freeman for the first time, Paul's foresight was fully aroused, so he could accurately predict everything in the future. This special function makes Paul known as the son of prophecy. People witnessed the prophetic Kivishaz Hadirak, a savior connecting time and space. Shesika was also honored as the godmother, and the freemen regarded Paul as the leader.
In the process of growing up, Paul mastered the ability to control the big sand worms in the desert, which played an important role in the production of Meilanji. Paul fell in love with Gani Chani, the daughter of planetary ecologist Liet-Kynes, and became a member of Freeman. He passed on the fighting skills of their Bee Gees Sisterhood to various tribes of Freeman, which made Freeman's fighting capacity improve rapidly.
After becoming the leader of the Freeman people, Paul Atridi changed his name to Paul Moyadi, and he began to plan to transform the climate of Aragis, hoping to get water for the desert. With water, the whole economy and ecology will change, which brings hope to the Gini people.
The existence of Paul Moyadi is gradually known, and his power is increasing day by day, which makes the empire feel threatened. Hakani first felt that the survival of this mortal enemy had threatened his rule over Aragis, so he planned a new plot with the king, demanding that the Shaduka army be sent again to suppress the freemen.
This time, the king personally stepped out. He led the army of Shaduka and began a cruel and bloody battle against the Arachiks. The result of the fierce battle was that the Shaduka Army was defeated, the whole army was wiped out, and the schemer Haqqani was also eliminated, thus changing the situation of the whole empire. After the collapse of the Shaduka Corps, Paul became the leader of the most powerful Freedom Army. He mastered the powerful weapon Melange, which also mastered the economy of the empire and the lifeline of the empire. In this situation, the Freeman Corps began to March into the universe for jihad.
The Savior of Dune, the second film of Dune, still features Paul, and the Freedom Army led by him is invincible. In the jihad, he became the leader of the whole universe, and the human world was finally completely unified under the religious rule of Matif. But the endless bloody battle in this process made Freeman very upset. He tried his best to restore the extremely chaotic universe to normal order.
But once the power is mastered, it will inevitably lead to corruption. In less than twelve years, the corruption within the empire and the ambition of the old forces have plunged Paul into many crises. In this life-and-death battle, Paul lost his eyesight and foresight, but with his previous accurate foresight, he chose to embark on a desert trip alone after completing the remaining mission. His position will be taken over by the next one. Paul is heading for his own death, but the progress of mankind has not ended because of his death. On the contrary, mankind is moving towards an ideal future.
What this novel wants to clarify is the meaning of human existence. Then, Dune put forward the answers to a series of questions, such as: What is man? What is a person? How can a person really be called a person? Can an evil character like Harkenny be called a real person? In the third novel Dune Child, these questions are still raised. When Paul's son Leto II was turned into a big bug with a face, he was also considered a human being? What exactly is a person? Herbert has been looking for answers, and he constantly answers with human nature in his novels. However, this is an eternal problem. In order to pursue the perfection of human nature, this problem should always be explored by human beings themselves.
If the first novel Dune takes Paul as the protagonist and describes how a young hero aged 15 struggles and eventually becomes the savior of Araqis, then the second novel Dune Savior is a bit like a TV series, winning by the plot and how the jihad defeats the empire step by step. After Paul became a leader, he finally gave up becoming a god and ended his life with others. When it comes to children in sand dunes, it is the unity of man and god. Sahulu, the creator of Morangi's life, is also known as Leto, the eternal father and grandson of Paul. "Man becomes God, God becomes man, and man and God change each other." This change is embarrassing.
The fourth novel "The Emperor of Dunes" shows that no matter how capable a person is, he can't foresee the results of all changes. After Kenis introduced water and moisture into Araqis, it destroyed Morange's ecology. Of course, Araqis is just a little star in the universe. If the universe is out of balance, how can human beings survive? Herbert's proposition is: don't interfere with human beings!
If you must come up with a savior, it may be a mistake towards extinction! As a result, people hurt themselves and everything went to failure.
