We’ve arrived at the final chapter of Book 1 of Dune.  Paul and Jessica are alone in the desert with their stilltent as Duncan Idaho, the surprise rescuer in the ornithopter, goes looking for any survivors he can help. 

 

Paul has a coming of age moment where he puts together the dual mentat and Bene Gesserit training he’s been under his whole life. That he’s a part of an agenda but can choose his own path. Also, that he is addicted to spice and essentially stranded on Arrakis.  

 

Mike critiques that the writing doesn’t explicitly talk about this moment occurring due to heightened emotions or trauma from the previous day’s events. 

 

Jeff comments that race consciousness isn’t a good term for what ought to be “collective unconscious”
