However , the Paul that come to Arrakis slowly disappears throughout the events of the flick as he assimilates into the Fremen ’s way of living and add up to believe in the prognostication . Much of this is thanks toLady Jessica , who work explicitly to make the Fremen believe that Paul will salvage them from the conquest of the Harkonnens , a rival house . Much of Paul ’s motive is to get revenge on the Harkonnens for the death of his father , but his soon spirals out of control .

After the death of Duke Leto , the line of succession passes directly to Paul , and he take over the part of Duke of House Atreides . Initially , this is not a burden that Paul ever want to bear , and he and his father discuss this inDune . However , it ’s from his father that he learn honor and responsibleness are not something that people choose but affair they move up to with hard work . Leto put little stock in the prophecy that Paul would preserve the Fremen , but he did believe he would make a good Duke .

Caladan is the home satellite of House Atreides , and here is what happens to it after the end of Dune and how it play into the hereafter of the enfranchisement .

5Muad’Dib

His Fremen warrior name

A large part ofDune 2includes Paul build a relationship with the Fremen , benefit their reliance , and becoming one of them in action and name . He struggle alongside them , disrupting the spice aggregation of the Harkonnens for many months . This spur the Fremen to let him to get a Fremen warrior name . He chooses Muad’dib , the name of the small desert computer mouse . Although this creates some derision among the Fremen , Stilgar ( Javier Bardem),Paul ’s mentor , hold this a wise name , as Stilgar is a staunch believer in the vaticination and Paul .

Stilgar is apace proven to be right , as the name Muad’dib spreads as the soubriquet of the mysterious warrior who is deadly in battle and is responsible for for ending the sovereignty of the Harkonnens . However , how he respond to the power the name gives him spurs thequestion of whether Paul Atreides is a hero or a baddie inDune . As Muad’dib , he fights for the Fremen and risks his life on their behalf , but his later actions break selfish intentions .

4Usul

His Fremen name

Along with Muad’dib , Paul is also known as Usul , but only within the communities of the Fremen and his stuffy friends and ally . Chani ( Zendaya ) , the Fremen he falls in love with but later betrays , calls him Usulas a sign of their closeness and her acceptance of him into the Fremen cultivation . Chani leaves at the end ofDune 2 , and while this differs from the plot of the book , it drives home the detail that Paul is not truly on the side of the Fremen .

By get Chani serve as the skeptic who does n’t believe in the prophecy , she is a strong foil to Stilgar and the fundamentalist within Fremen religious grouping . She is also a spokesperson that convey to the audiencePaul ’s role as an anti - hero and his characterization within the story . Usul loosely means " strong base " in the lyric of the Fremen , which turns out to be an interesting choice considering how the basis of Paul ’s actions and beliefs is not rooted in Fremen ’s tradition and loyalties .

3Mahdi

The Fremen’s savior

When the Fremen call Paul the Mahdi and the Lisan al Gaib , it essentially mean the same matter , but Mahdi has the connotation of activity and struggle . Though Mahdi sounds similar to Paul ’s fight name , Muad’dib , they mean all different things . WhenPaul is referred to as the Mahdi , it comes from the delusive prognostication of the Bene Gesserit , and Muad’dib is a name Paul prefer at the behest of the Fremen to illustrate his acceptance and place among them . The Mahdi might be the Fremen ’s savior , but that is not the same as being one of them .

It ’s not strange for cultures and religions to have a messiah figure within their texts and stories . However , this taradiddle was strongly manipulate by the Bene Gesserit and disperse by Lady Jessica as Paul was out push . Like Stilgar , many Fremen vehemently conceive in the prophecy and have been wait for the visual aspect of the Mahdi for generations . This false promise and vaticination are only the beginning of how the Fremen are manipulate and used .

Although Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune : Part Two pay off the first moving-picture show ’s plot , Dune 2 left some of its large questions unrequited , making Dune 3 a must .

Although Lisan al Gaib is similar to Mahdi , it differs in its character within the legend of the prophet who will save Arrakis .

Although it was n’t certain that the Lisan al Gaib would be Paul , Jessica ensured her son would be the legendary drawing card .
