Frank Herbert

Description

Potential discussion questions, but feel free to write about anything that stood out to you:

  • Did you have any expectations to Dune before you started it? If so, has it lived up to your expectations?
  • Which characters stand out to you? What are their characteristics? Are they fully developed?
  • What did you think of the writing style and the pace of the story?
  • Was it right for Jessica to put her son in harms way? Did she have a choice?
  • Discuss the role of loyalty in Dune?
  • We learn early on what Dr. Yueh's role is - does his development surprise you?
  • Can you pick out a passage that strikes you as particularly profound or interesting?
  • Do you see any parallels between the world of Dune and our world as far as politics, etc?
  • Mentat vs. Bene Gesserit - who do you trust? Why?
  • Describe the book in one word!
