This post contains spoilers For the "Duna" saga.

In Dennis Vilnev "Duna: Part Two", Lady Essesica (Rebecca Ferguson) Telepathically communicates with her fetus, Alia, who, along with her, has transformed after she is exposed to the water of life. Like a fetus, Alia is strange in harmony with Essesica's plans As for her son, Paul (Timothy Shalamet), because she actively calls her mother to a special road. In one of the many visions of Paul, we get a view of an adult Alia (Anja Taylor-Hoy), whose presence is set to be monumentally in the tense, bloody chapters to come. Namely, however, the same character is considered differently in Duna by David Lynch. There, Alia (Alicia Wit) is a child-top, who is on Toder, who carries the book, which has Baron Harconen (Kenneth McMillan) through Arakis with pure power on her mind.

While Vilnev for the most part he closely watched Frank Herbert's Duna book series, for the most part, he makes the choice to miss the child Alia from the "part" for creative reasons. After all, the idea of ​​a child with mannerisms and acoumonic adults is a challenge to step down at a technical level and risks coming out as inadvertently silly. Of course, this omission also indicates the inevitable jump on time, with Alia's bow being potted and limited to its adult self.

In Herbert's "Duna", Alia's child is necessary for the story, as her journey flows parallel to Paul, creating a mirror that is both alarming and tragic. This is particularly clear in Herbert's novels "Dune Messia" and "Duna Children", which position the adult Alia as a Messiah figure of another kind, condemned to repeating past mistakes. Paul's complexity often overshadows the key role his sister plays, but Alia donates many people during her tragic short life: perceived disgust, respected mother, Demi-goddess and destructive power of nature. Having this in mind, let's follow her journey, starting when she is rushed with stunning cognitive abilities.

Eight months after the death of Duke Summer I, Alia was born, armed with adult consciousness Bene Gesite and the frightening ancestors of the memories that come with it. Fremen is immediately cautious about her, and Bene Gesite thinks it is a disgust, an abusive term used for those who cannot control genetic ego memories. Since Alia has access to huge places of knowledge through space and time, she is afraid, because Bene Gesite believes that her fractured psyche will inevitably fall apart at some point (more for this later). Unlike Paul and Essesica, whose eyes have naturally turned blue due to prolonged exposure to spice melange of arakisAlia was born with them. A combination of these factors paints Alia as an almost mythical figure, and worships and feared those prone to religious indoctrination and superstition.

Paul's status as a Messiah between Fremen shapes Alia's upbringing, leading to its direct involvement in the War War Desert. This is not surprising, as its advanced abilities Allow allow groups of attack and to deceive enemy benchmarks until it is trapped in a raid on the sardauer. Don't fret, she escaped during the battle of Arakeen and made sure to pamper Baron Harconen (which is revealed to be her grandfather at that moment) with a poisonous Goma Abbar. Its evil fearlessness in battle is important to note here, because eventually earns the holy epithet "Holy Alia on the knife". Why? Well, during the war, she goes around stabbing the fallen enemy soldiers with her christen to extract the water stored in their bodies.

As can be estimated, Alia is someone who literally contains a multitude, because there are ancestors of memories and donates many masks. Herbert described Alia's complexity as such: "She is vulgar, witty, knowledge of the depth that frightened, cruel when it is most kind, unthinkable while thinking, and when she tries to build it, it is as destructive as Coriolis's storm." These words reveal their true meaning in the books that follow "Duna", so let's take a look at Alia's journey in these volumes.

The characters in "Duna" have a way to get back long after they are dead, and Duncan Ajdaho is no different. When Duncan returns like ghola haytHis intentions and motivations are quite different because he is secretly intended to serve as a trap for Paul, who is now the king. Alia, an adult now, is developing a filled relationship with Hate, and most of her interior in Dunne Messiah are revealed through this complicated relationship. After Hate is exposed as a traitor, the memories of real Duncan Idaho was eventually renewed, which also restores his loyalty to House Atreis. When Paul blind and chooses self-exil, Alia is named regent in his absence, and she takes over the mantle after marrying Hyatt.

This is where you work you take a dark twist. Alia, whose mind is always overpowered by the strong ancestors of the ancestors, is unable to cultivate a basic person strong enough to resist the influence or complete possession. A psychic split begins to form, with Alia overdoing the spice to push its powers to their boundaries, approaching it to become disgust over its intense and careless impulses. By the time we reach the "children of Duna", Alia turned into an extremist; She manipulates people who use fear in the name of faith and religion, are increasingly engaged in more ruthless parts of her personality. On the way, her efforts to strengthen her political position and religious mysticism are turned violent, and it adopts a tyrannical approach to its temporary rule as a regent. Its escalation paranoia and nature hungry power gradually led to own Baron Harconenwho used her lack of a strong cruel person and pushes her to become more and more murderous.

The subsequent return of Paul from exile serves as a tragic turnaround in the stories of his and Alia. After giving up the status of his sister as a frame, zealous priests kill him, leaving a sad Alia to desperately fight endless figures, trying to use control over her mind and body. Essesica is not only a witness to these events But it is also ultimately helpless to stop her daughter when he briefly returned the command of her physical being, Alia jumps from an open window to her death.

In the end, Alia dies like a tyrant and martyr. Her last act can save countless lives, but he condemns House.
