I read the books of Dune back in the 1980s, loved them, not so much the movies. However, I did enjoy Stings over the top performance, but not his outlandish codpiece. David Lynch, why did you do that?
The rumor has it. David Lynch thought he hired someone else. Sting stayed on anyway. He is famous for lead vocals and bass in the band called "The Police," an English rock band. Sting's performance was fun to watch anyway. In the story, Feyd-Rautha is the Baron’s cruel 16-year-old nephew, and heir and the Baron lust for young men, including his nephew.
Princess Irulan, quoted from “Manual of Muad’Dib,” states that to understand Muad’Dib, one must understand his mortal enemies, the Harkonnens. Feyd-Rautha is from the clan, Harkonnen.
The author of the Dune series is Frank Herbert. My favorite book of his is called "The White Plague" a bereaved scientist who lost his wife and children in a car bombing in Dublin creates a deadly virus that kills off most of the female humans and spreads to the animal kingdom as well. Not all the females were killed, and that's when the fun starts.
As a teenager, I loved reading about science gone wrong. Scientists are human and suffer from all the negatives and positives of being human whilst carrying great powers to help or destroy. I think science has become a religion no one dares question.
“Some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy, or burst his organs. We will kill until no Harkonnen breathes Arakeen air.”
