In Book 2 of Dune, when Paul is operating the 'thopter in the desert sandstorm, it brings on a feeling of turbulence and uncertainty. This setting gives a view of Paul starting to question his mother and also allows him to mature a bit more in all the craziness. Even though there's a chance that he and his mother will die, he's still calm, remembering his training about fear, as I talked about in my first blog. Paul's relationship with his mother also starts to have cracks in it. He doesn't seem to trust her as much and yells at her for things she has no power over. The sandstorm is a maelstrom filled with whirling sand, and Paul's emotions while flying through it are personified through the chaos of it all.
