Actually it was the Baron who was forced to conceive offspring by the Bene Gesserit. The Sisterhood harvested genes from members of the great houses to manipulate bloodlines and consolidate their own power within the imperium. The Baron had already been blackmailed into copulating with Mohiam once but the child died and Mohiam was ordered to approach the Baron again for another child. The Baron, being homosexual hated the first experience with Mohian and decided to humiliate her the second time by paralyzing her with a nerve toxin and raping her. It was during the rape that Mohiam deliberately infected the Baron with a disease that would make him morbidly obese. As the Baron was immensely vain and in love with his own perfect physique, Mohiam knew this would torture and humiliate him to no end.

The harkonnens only trusted those of their subordinates who had weaknesses that could be used to control and exploit them. The baron regards the first guard captain as trustworthy only because his appetites were well known. The man he promotes as the new guard captain is one he knows he can trust because the baron knows he is addicted to the drug semuta. My understanding is that in the Harkonnens forces, they would betray eachother for advancement, that subordinates would inform on a superior in hopes of taking his place.

IMO, the emperor trapped the Atreides AND the Harkonnens. (I am basing this ENTIRELY on the Frank Herbert books. I find the BH/KJA novels to be very problematic) The ancestral feud between the Atreides and Harkonnens were well known. The Atreides were becoming more popular in the Landsraad (sort of like an English parliament for the Houses). The Atreides had been training their fighting force to the point where they were almost a match for the Emperor's sardaukar. And Baron Harkonnen had gotten VERY wealthy mining spice. The kind of wealth that could be a problem for the Emperor. Here's how I see the plan: 1. Take Arrakis away from the Harkonnens, threatening their wealth. The Baron would be willing to spend a lot of resources to get Arrakis back. 2. Give Arrakis to the Atreides, the ancestral enemy of the Harkonnens. At this point, the Baron would be willing to spend everything he had. 3. Let the Barron know privately that the Emperor will "allow" the Harkonnens to attack the Atreides. 4. Offer some of the Emperor's sardaukar to assist in the battle. Of course, this is a double-edged sword; they are there to help exterminate the Atreides AND make sure that the Baron does as he is told. 5. Make sure that the Spacing Guild charged exorbitant troop transport fees and hazzard rates. And also pay the transport costs for the sardaukar. (After the attack, the Baron tells Rabban, "If you squeeze Arrakis for every cent it can give us for sixty years, you'll just barely repay us!" So, two birds, one stone: Atreides are gone and the Harkonnens are broke.

@rockyblacksmith 8 ай бұрын

That might have been his thinking, but I'd say he underestimated the Haarkonens in that. Once they had won, they 1. still had the biggest military force in the Empire (even though they couldn't match the Saardukar in quality). 2. had gotten the Emperor to get his hands dirty, intervening in fights that he was forbidden from meddling in. As such, they had leverage over the Emperor. 3. had regained the biggest cash cow in the Empire, thus borrowing money wouldn't be a problem 4. were the most powerful house in the Landsraad, with no force to counter them.

@@jamesrepass442 I'm not saying the Emperor didn't consider these factors. The fact that this is adressed in the books doesn't mean the Emperors assesment is correct. Just because he's confident that he can control the Harkonnens doesn't mean he actually can. It is completely speculative either way, since that power struggle never plays out in the story (which would show us who has the better judgement of the situation). At the end of the day, both parties misjudge the Atreides and grossly misjudge the Fremen, and as such I wouldn't put it past either to misjudge the other as well.

I must say Brian Herberts backstory for Vladimir undercuts his character in Dune somewhat. There, the gluttony is an outward representation of the Barons greed. Something that he willingly engaged in. He was, by his own choices, the absolute antithesis to the Atreides, who practiced discipline in all things. It just being a disease inflicted upon him renders this moot.

This may be unrelated but I don't like how the 2021 movie depicted the Harkonnens. The Harkonnens weren't monstrous creatures but normal looking people just like the Atriedes, not bald pale inhuman brutes. Aside from Beast Rabban, the Harkonnens were more plotters than brutes. If anything they were also douchy. In the novels they constantly bickered with each, and had annoying personality traits. Vladimar Harkonnen was more flamboyant. There is this flaw within modern movie making where they must make all villainous factions (including human factions) look inhuman and scary as possible just so they can dumb it down to the audience by saying "these are the BAD GUYS".

@AnthonyTobyEllenor-pi4jq 4 ай бұрын

The 2021 version made a major mistake by creating the Baron as a very weird person, using subdued lighting and far too little screentime. When you have a genius actor like Stellan Skarsgard, you use him as much as possible and let him act as well as giving good dialogue. The same with a star like Jason Momoa who is a fantastic actor yet he only got 9 minutes screentime. The three main characters are OK but not good, Chalamet is too lightweight both in physique and experience to play Paul, I would have preferred Eva Green as Pauls Mother and Morfydd Clark as Chani, The movie could have been much better if casting had been more sensible.

Vladimir Putin only has like 3 people on his family despite ruling the largest country (by area) in the world. Xi Jingpin only had one daughter that we know of. When it comes to authoritarian, power hungry leaders, a big family is actually a disadvantage. These guys are so paranoid and greedy, that they’re probably threatened by the idea of family members trying to take his place. For the dictator type, a large family is a vulnerability more than a blessing. A big exception is of course Genghis Khan, but one can hardly say he had a “family”. He just went around banging l/raping anyone he could get his hands on lol

Good to learn how the Baron survived the gas attack, it was never really explained in Lynch's, the SyFy Dune, or the new movies how he survives. It's extra bad in Lynch's dune because he's nowhere near Leto when he triggers the tooth, but even in the movie I was a bit thrown because it looked like it was a perfect assassination but they never explained how he survived

Nonsense, at the time of the Bulterian djihad, the Harkonnen family was one of the greatest on a par with the Atreides family, and perhaps even bigger, because the Atreides' protoplacers were simply traitors. And so, after Abulard Harkonnen refused to obey a heartless order, Vorian Atreides did not reveal the truth that Xavier Harkonnen was a hero and killed Iblis Ginjo because he knew about his plots with the Tleilaxans.

Very small spoiler warning: If they could only make it through to God Emperor of Dune (book 4), one Duncan Idaho is reprimanded for homophobic comments towards certain members of the Fish Speakers. He then goes on to learn that History itself is not a linear march toward progress, but a cyclical machine of rewriting by victorious regimes. Also, everyone's ancestors were guilty of something, some debts can never be adequately repaid and nobody is The Hero.

The Harkkonen were always harsh, even pre jihad, it wasn’t until after the feud with the Atredies started that they became cruel and sadistic. I wonder that if this was due in part because of the Bene Gesserit’s manifestations of their blood line for their breeding program?
