Frank Herbert’s Dune and subsequent adaptations are predicated on protagonist Paul Atreides being a prophesied messiah meant to liberate the galaxy. In Denis Villeneuve’s movie series, Paul Atreides’ (Timothée Chalamet) journey begins in 2021’s Dune and continues in Dune: Part Two. Here, he is more cognizant of his role and the prophecy that he will save the cosmos from the Imperium and Harkonnens.However, it isn’t a straightforward arc of growth. Part of Paul doesn’t want this destiny, fearing the kind of monster he will have to become. Throughout the narrative of Dune: Part Two, Paul goes through this arc in intervals, receiving different names along the way. Coincidentally, they reflect his emotions and his internal turbulence as he decides which route he has to go, and what he has to sacrifice.The tribe — especially the Northerner tribe that isn’t into religion and prophecy as much — views Paul as the sort of human they would follow. He doesn’t have an ego and isn’t about starting religious wars like Stilgar. It is Usul whom Chani falls in love with, adoring that he is more of a man than some fable. He is their protector, but present in the now. She tries to keep him grounded, rather than letting him slip into the extremist, fundamentalist ways of the South.
