Chapter 43, p. 542 Flashcards
How does Paul convince the tribe that killing Stilgar to assume command of all Fremen is no longer the way?
By telling them killing Stilgar would be like cutting off his own right arm when he needs it most, and that killing the best from every sietch is a waste that aids only their true enemie, the Harkonnens.
What is the first thing Gurney Halleck does when he sees Jessica after all those years spent as a smuggler, and why?
Picks her up from behind and puts a knife to her back, to force a confession out of her in Paul’s presence, since he still believes her to be the one who betrayed Duke Leto.
What is kept deep in the sietch, near the water-holding basin of the inner cavern?
A little maker, kept stunted and trapped by surrounding water ditches.
What is the greatest Fremen secret regarding the little makers, for whom water is poison?
Drowning a maker produced the substance of the Freemen’s union, the Water of Life, the poison that can only be changed by a Reverend Mother.
What does Paul decide to do with the little maker, and why?
To drown it in order to see if he’s the Kwisatz Haderach who can survive the test that only the Reverend Mothers have survived.
