Discussion #2 Notes (Andrew Pono)

Lady Jessica finds a garden
• This may be a reference to the Garden of Eden
• The water may also be a reference to Catholicism, as the water is considered sacred

Paul may be a representation of Jesus
+ The Freman believe that he is the Messiah
  • It is possible that the Freman could represent either Islam of Judaism
- He is an easily dislikable character, and can appear self-centered and pompous


Paul's Father repeats "They tried to kill my son!" three times
• This could be a biblical allusion, referring to the Holy Trinity

The setting seems  to be an alternatively advanced civilization, but with older customs and some dated architectural designs

While reading, it was easy to imagine the natural surroundings as Tatooine, a desert planet from
Star Wars
