Chapterhouse Dune Essay, Research Paper


At first, Chapterhouse: Dune (a sequel of Dune) by Frank Herbert is confusing.


It is almost necessary to read Dune, or watch the movie. I hadn?t read Dune


before I had started this book, and I was totally confused. I thought about


putting the book down, but then I rented Dune. Everything suddenly cleared up.


Suddenly, Chapterhouse: Dune became the greatest book I have ever read. The Dune


universe is much more complex than most science fiction universes; such as Star


Trek. It is filled with alien (human) races, technology that might someday be


invented, and a story line that encompasses some 50,000 years. That is one huge


feature about Chapterhouse: Dune, there is a history that you can learn about


from other Dune books. Unlike in other science fiction books, where the back


story is the back cover. Another thing that makes Chapterhouse: Dune more


complex and more intriguing than other titles are the characters. Frank Herbert


writes in a way that you can?t truly get a grasp on their persona. Such as


Scytale, who is a Mentat. A Mentat is a human computer, able to calculate


immense problems, and have the ability to have a thing called Other Memory.


Other Memory is where memories of other people before them are implanted into


their brain. It is very hard to explain; you would have to read more about it.


Scytale since he is a Mentat, strives to attain information. But it is hard for


him to achieve this goal. Scytale is a prisoner on Chapterhouse for being of aid


to the Jews. He was ordered to be held there by Ordade, the Mother Superior.


Mother Superior is the leader of the Bene Gesserit; the last remnants of the Old


Empire. She is tough to understand. She is

compassionate in her own little way,


yet totally feared by all. She too, has Other Memory, but of past Mother


Superiors. A thing that I really liked about Chapterhouse: Dune is the realistic


conflicts. The most obvious one is the battle between the Bene Gesserit and the


Honored Matres. The Honored Matres are lead by a bloodthirsty, extremely violent


man known only as the Great Honored Matre. The Honored Matres were formed 1,500


years ago after The Scattering. The Scattering occurred when the emperor Leto II


died after his 3,500-year-old rule. There is one thing that I found a bit


lacking in Chapterhouse: Dune, the setting. There is only one, and that is the


problem. The whole story is based on one massive complex known as Chapterhouse.


Chapterhouse is the primary headquarters of the Bene Gesserit. It is located on


the planet of Arrakis, also known as Dune. In my humble opinion, Chapterhouse:


Dune is very accurate in the depiction of the human mind and in the actuality of


technology. Another thing that I found very intriguing is the fact that humans


have actually evolved; while in other universes, we remain in the same form for


all time. I strongly recommend Chapterhouse: Dune for anyone who actually has


the time to read it. Chapterhouse: Dune is an extremely long book. I figure that


if it were in normal paperback book size, it would be some eight hundred pages


long. Chapterhouse: Dune was defiantly not aimed towards children. There are


some very difficult words, some of which I could not even understand. I would


not even recommend this book to most teenagers. I feel that this book was meant


to be read by adults, and some enlightened teenagers (the likes of which are far


ahead of their time).
