Guest John Teepee Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I noticed this the 4th time I read Dune. Did anyone else? Either shortly before or after (I think after) Paul fought Jamis, he (Paul) felt he was missing something, that there was something he should do. The book then went on to say that he felt he had missed something important and that in the background he could feel the Jihad. Perhaps there was something he could have done in that moment that would have minimized/eliminated the Jihad. Remember, while Paul was having prescient dreams and minimal spice trances he had not yet become fully prescient. Comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 You just restarted the worst war of the threads. The whole nazi police state Atreides and whether Paul is evil or not arguement, the could Paul have stopped the Jihad or not arguement. The Arguement that nearly brought the thread into the ultimate flame war with warring religions, philosophies, ideals, and personal thoughts on the topic. Am I overdramatizing my answer?

Gunseng_Harkonnen Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Well, I read Dune five times and now I`m going to read it one more time. I have been interested in Dune for 5 years (five is a good number ;D). But if someone read this book , he/she will read Dune 2nd time, third, fourth...99th :) :). It`s normal and that should it be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirnov Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Paul's jihad was an extremely important event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Alex_Atreides Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 the only to stop the jihad was if paul had killed himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahdi Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Actually, that owuldn't ahve made a difference. It says over and over that if Paul had died, then the jihad would still ahve occured in his name. In fact, n page 37 of Dune Messiah and again on page 142 (I may be off by a page or two on that second one) it states that there was absolutly nothing whatsoever Paul could have done to prevent the Jihad. The Jihad chose him, not the other wya around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
