Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. On what planet do we first meet Paul Atreides, at the beginning of the book?

Answer: Caladan

The opening of the book is set on Caladan, before House Atreides leaves for the planet Arrakis. Dune and Arrakis are the same planets and are set later in the book, and the Guild is the group of people that make space travel possible.

2. Each chapter begins with a quote from a book about Maud'dib (Paul). Who is the author of this book?

Answer: Princess Irulan

These quotes are about a paragraph long and include different things about Paul. There are a couple, though, that are not about Paul; for instance, in the beginning of 'The Prophet' the paragraph is about Count Fenring and the Emperor.

3. When they arrive on Arrakis, Lady Jessica finds a note in the secret conservatory. What is the full name and title of the person who signed this note?

Answer: Margot Lady Fenring

In this note there is a secret message which the Bene Gesserit women can read. It says:
"Your son and Duke are in immediate danger. A bedroom has been designed to attract your son. The H loaded it with death traps to be discovered, leaving one that may escape detection. I do not know the exact nature of the menace, but it has something to do with a bed. The threat to your duke involves defection of a trusted companion or lieutenant. The H plan to give you as gift to a minion. To the best of my knowledge, this conservatory is safe. Forgive that I cannot tell more. My sources are few as my Count is not in the pay of the H.
In haste, MF."

4. How long had Jessica been the serving wench for the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam?

Answer: fourteen years

The Reverend Mother discloses this to Paul after he says "Does one dismiss the Lady Jessica as though she were a serving wench?"

5. Complete the Bene Gesserit litany against fear: Fear is _______ ___________.

Answer: the mind-killer

The complete Bene Gesserit litany is: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear."

6. After Leto died, who did the Baron elect as the new captain of his guard?

Answer: Iakin Nefud

Nefud's predecessor was among the people who had died as the effect of the gas in Leto's tooth. The gas was put in by Yueh, the traitor, who hoped to kill the Baron by this means. The gas killed everyone except the person whom Yueh intended to kill. The baron says this to Nefud: "First, let me congratulate you, Nefud. You're the new captain of my guard. And I hope you'll take to heart the lesson to be learned from the fate of your predecessor."

7. What drug was Nefud addicted to?

Answer: Semuta

This thought comes up to the Baron's mind as he identifies Nefud as he is approaching the Baron. Semuta is the drug-music combination that played itself in the deepest consciousness.

8. Where did Paul quote this from: 'Travel by night and rest in black shade through day'?

Answer: The Kitab al-Ibar

Paul quotes this as he and the Lady Jessica are escaping from the likes of a worm, who eats the 'thopter.

9. What is the name of the lady Paul inherits from Jamis?

Answer: Harah

Paul accepts Harah as a servant but Harah insists she is still young. Jamis killed another to win her.

10. What is the name of the place where people get Twisted Mentats from?

Answer: Tleielax

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen thinks this after Duke Leto lets off the gas attempting to kill the Baron but instead killing Piter, the Baron's mentat, and all the others in the Baron's presence.
