Hello, storytellers! Paul Atreides is not only a young man destined to lead, but a character whose complexity defies preconceptions of the classic “hero.” In Dune 1 we saw his maturation arc, but his story doesn’t stop there. Today we delve into his dark path to corruption, exploring how a potential leader transforms into an anti-hero and how small decisions inevitably lead him to absolute power. Drawing on the concepts of “Lie” and “Truth” from KM Weiland’s Creating Character Arcs, we’ll break down the key moments that build his degeneration arc. Caught between his visions and external pressure, Paul must decide between following the path of truth or succumbing to a dangerous falsehood that promises power, but at a high price. ⚠️ This video contains spoilers for Dune 1 and Dune 2! ????
