Paul breaks the convention of the Bene Gesserit ’s initial sight since his female parent , Lady Jessica , was instructed to have a daughter or else of a son , which she eventually does .

The Harkonnens would not simply give up Arrakis without a fight , which extend to the death of Leto inDune(2021 ) .
Weakened and paranoid from his position of baron , the Emperor see the thriving House Atreides as a potential threatto his and his folk ’s reign , which is why he sought to take them out . Doing so designedly would induce an unrecoverable ripple among the majorhouses and factions in theDuneuniverse , so indue House Atreides with Arrakis was his sneaky and inconspicuous way of essentially giving them the kiss of death . The Harkonnen draft the help of the Sardaukar inDune , the Emperor ’s highly skilled military force . Knowing all this , the Emperor doubtlessly sent House Atreides to Arrakis to buy the farm .

While Duke Leto Atreides is a powerful and magnetic leader , he comes from Caladan , a lush and flourishing pelagic earth that is ecologically opposite of Arrakis . Leto was also unprepared to take over the spice output from the Harkonnenand was arguably ill - fit for the persona , given that on his very first trip manage the spice harvesting process his goodwill to save innocent workers from a sandworm overbalance a sentiency of levelheaded byplay practicality .
If the Harkonnen had conk out in their attempts to vote down Leto and overtake Arrakis through a surprise attack in the middle of the night as show in Dune , Leto likely would still have taken a long clip to aline to the conditions Arrakis and expectation of spice production . The Emperor could have used Leto ’s potential nonstarter of spiciness output to publically shame himand House Atreides , weakening his political power and popularity and thus queer his scourge to the crapper . Whether the Harkonnen got involve or not as they had inDune , it ’s apparent that the Emperor was setting Leto and House Atreides up for sabotage and disaster .
