Chapter 44, p. 558 Flashcards
Why was Chani summoned from the far south and taken by ornithopter to meet Paul?
Because Paul has been found unconscious in the cavern with the maker, leading his people to believe he has been poisoned by Harkonnen treachery.
Why was Paul unconscious?
He drank a single drop of the poison known as the Water of Life. He had been unconscious for three weeks.
Paul is the Kwisatz Haderach. What is another way to say this in plain language?
The one who can be many places at once.
What did Paul see when he tasted the Water of Life? The Future? Or the Now?
The Now. Paul saw that the Padishah Emperor, Baron Harkonnen, and all the Great Houses are hovering above Arrakis, waiting for the Guild’s permission to land on the planet to rob and loot it blind.
What is Paul’s solution to the looming threat waiting to land on Arrakis?
He will rig the Water of Life above a pre-spice mass, to cause a chain reaction of the Water of Death, killing all the little makers and making Arrakis a true desolation. He threatens to destroy the spice that the rest of the universe so desperately wants and needs.
