Progmom - will you be empress of the world with me?
You see I have plans for world domination. I want everyone to worship me and throw small grapes at my feet.

But I need an empress, and you seem to be the one.

Oh my wife will still be there, but you get to be co-goddess emporor.

Whaddya think?

3. Sure, but he and my wife must be relegated to 'cocubine' status
Which mean no grapes thrown at their feet...

9. Doh!
That's it, before you assume the role of Goddess Emperor...you must read the entire Dune series by Frank Herbert.

You can skip Dune Messiah...Maud Dib just goes blind, and into the desert and turns into a goth.

11. Well OK

They try to kill Paul. He and his mom escape. Paul becomes Maud Dib, and takes over Dune. There was much rejoicing. He goes in the desert, becoms a goth, his twins become emperors, his son becomes a sandworm, has to be killed, Dune blows up, someone makes a new one. The end.

But you must memorize this:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

14. Sting was the son of Vladimir Baron Harkonen
a bad guy.

Duke Leto kept coming back. He was an archetype. Always an advisor to the Fremen, never king himself.
