SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Dune: Part Two finally settles the 59-year-old debate over Frank Herbert's Dune protagonist, Paul Atreides . Although the epic story of Dune may center on Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides, that doesn't make him a hero. In fact, part of the reason Herbert's novel remains so influential is because of the way it criticizes science fiction's archetypal — and often problematic — chosen one narrative.

The Debate About Paul Being A Villain Or Hero Explained In Dune, Frank Herbert intentionally includes all the hallmarks of a typical "chosen one" story in order to underline his point: Paul isn't heroic. If anything, he's a tragic figure who employs dubious means to achieve his goals. At first, Paul is excited to live on Arrakis and learn more about the spice-producing desert planet.
