🛰️Dune, Book I — Desert Power & Destiny
Details
### 🛰️Dune— Book I (“Dune”)
No homework. Printed cast/terms + scene prompts.
Description
We’ll cover Book I: “Dune”—the Atreides arrival on Arrakis, the ecology that shapes everything, and the tug‑of‑war between prophecy and politics. To help movie‑first folks, we’ll show where Villeneuve’s films intersect with the book: which scenes align, which get trimmed, and where the emphasis shifts. Bring any edition or just use the printed cheat‑sheet; you’ll be fine either way.
How we’ll do it :
- Discuss three threads:
- survival & ecology
- power & prophecy
- culture & language.
- Quick book ↔ film mapping for context (no heavy spoilers).
- Discuss how the Movie Versions differed from the book
