A major through-line of the book is Paul’s attempt to navigate, manipulate, and circumvent the future through his ability to peer through time and space.

The near-godhood and worship of Paul Muad’Dib and his sister Alia, as well as the religious war their followers carry out, are central themes of the book.

When Princess Irulan visits the imprisoned Reverend Mother, the Reverend Mother orders her to throw Paul and his young sister Alia together to perhaps prompt an incestuous relationship.

Later, as a nude Alia practices combat in her room, Paul arrives and sees her. He notes that he is suddenly aware of her femaleness.
