THE HONORED MATRES (Twisted Witches + Bene Gesserit Civil War) DUNE EXPLAINED

Ойын-сауық

Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained.
As requested, today we’re continuing our run-on Dune with an exploration of the Honored Matres.
A splinter group of the Bene Gesserit who had disappeared during The Scattering, the Honored Matres are ruthless and powerful, carrying a dark and violent version of the Bene Gesserit's manipulation techniques. Their return from the Scattering heralds a time of upheaval and change.
The existing power structures of the Old Empire are tested and often brutally suppressed as they swiftly and decisively take control. Their rise isn't just a shift in the balance of power; it's a shockwave that disrupts the established order of the universe.
But who are these mysterious, violent women, and what caused them to become such a potent and disruptive force? To answer that, we'll need to delve into their origins, their beliefs, abilities, history and the circumstances that shaped them into the power-hungry group we meet in the series.
In this video, we’re going to explore the short story, the film which follows directly after, in addition to the entity and ending of the narrative.

    Wasn't this the reason that Leto II sacrificed himself as a person and good name to become a tyrant to cleanse humanity of prescience? I think Herbert then really wrote Leto II as more then a hero like Plato described in the Republic, one that is willing to sacrifice his heroic (possible) status and do everything to safe humanity, also through harsh means.

    To be clear, if Herbert's son used his father's notes to finish the story, then the identity of "the enemy" is not up for debate by intellectually honest people. You can argue about the quality of the writing in the sequels but, that has nothing to do with canonicity or Frank's original intentions. Proponents of the "super facedancer" theory ignore two major points: A. The machine empire always had human slaves. Facedancers being among their scout forces isn't a huge leap. B. Leto II being afraid of face dancers creates a massive plot hole and makes Paul/Leto II look like massive idiots. Paul could've exterminated the Bene Tleilax at the end of the first book.

    @@similaritiesendhere To be clear these notes are said to have totalled 1.5 pages of writing, hardly an in depth or final vision for the novel. F.H would have likely changed a great deal from this early outline by the time he finished a 7th book and B.H likely deviated and elaborated greatly. Besides, these notes are unpublished and unverified. For all we know they could have been far less or limited only to covering only a narrow part of what a 7th book would be such as just the philosophy or themes. You are assuming that the enemy that B.H chose was also chosen by F.H based on 0 evidence. Claiming that a dead author had 100% decided on a plot point that he never finished or even fully drafted is not intellectually honest and unless F.H commented on it publicly and directly it is absolutely up to debate unless one has access to privelaged information and can PROVE it.

Most of the characters are introduced by then and you know the stakes. Meanwhile, the Dune series is still getting more convoluted by book 6. I read all of the "extended universe" books almost like a Cliff's Notes version of what Frank Herbert would've written. It satisfies my curiosity for an ending. Frank would've done a better job telling the same overall tale but, it would've taken him decades.

    I sometimes wonder how much of the Golden Path Leto has seen. He knew what it cost and that it would result in salvation of human race, but all that happened like planned way before Omnius and Erasmus returned. Did Leto foresee that, or was his vision over before that? Was the return of the machines part of Golden Path, or just the result? Considering how Leto was the one that started it, and how Leto II contributed to it, did either of them know that the same path that led to salvation of humanity, would also bring humanity extremely close to complete extinction? The future had No-ships, so presumably neither Leto knew about what was going to happen, but they were directly responsible for the history that happened up to that point. It's pretty interesting to think that unknowingly their prescience resulted in this sort of cyclical history of destruction and salvation, where under Leto II humanity was suppressed and regressed in evolution, only to explode across the universe upon his death, only to then be hunted down first by their descendants on form of Honored Matres, then by the forgotten Greatest Enemy, the thinking Machines. Of course, in the end this resulted in the unification of all life, machine and biological, but it raises a question whether the cycle could repeat. Omnius was banished to another universe by Oracle of Time, also one of the first extremely important figures of history, but in theory, in far future unified mechanised humanity could find a way to access these new universes, and release Omnius once again, or maybe even the others, non-unified humans could return from edges of the universe after the Scattering, and fight against unified human machine race, similar to how Honored Matres returned and fought against old empire. And in general, it's pretty weird how throughout the history of Dune, it was generally the same forces struggling against each other. At first it was humanity, with wars against each other in ancient history, then it was humanity versus machines, the after Jihad, it was humanity versus humanity once again, but this time with addition of melange and prescience, the it was humanity versus machines again, with both sides having form of prescience, and in the end it all culminated with characters from like 14000 years ago resurrecting and fighting each other. In every situation, it was essentially humanity creating it's own destruction and salvation, but only temporarily, with every outcome resulting in another struggle. It's like life itself is doomed to eternally struggle against itself.

    The Honored Matres represent an aspect of the Monomyth theory that I like to call "The Lilith Parable". Compare and contrast them with The Romulans from Star Trek, the Drow from D&D (Spider Queen), The Mord-Sith from Sword of Truth, The Force-Witches of Dathomir from Star Wars, The Drukhari Wyches from 40k and many more. The idyllic "elfin" faction always seems to have a dark secret that returns with a vengeance in the form of matriarchal sadists. When you recognize these patterns, you can see it playing out again and again.

    Let’s keep it funny. This Monomyth stuff isn’t a hard science. It doesn’t have to be 1-for-1. It’s been decades since I read “The Courtship of Princess Leia”, but here’s what Wookieepedia says about the Witches of Dathomir... “But when Allya assumed leadership of the population, events were set in motion that would lead to the development of a unique Human culture on Dathomir, founded on the enslavement of the male population to Force-sensitive female warriors” ... and that sounds pretty spot-on for Honored Matre clones (metaphorical clones, of course), particularly the Nightsisters faction of them. Siân Phillips played both Reverend Mother Mohiam of the Bene Gesserit and Charal of the Force Witches in Dune (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (1985) respectively. This witch character actually predates the invention of Dathomir and she was later retconned into a Nightsister. Mara Jade is practically Murbella from Chapterhouse: Dune too. (At this point, it may be easier just to list the stuff that Star Wars didn’t lift from Dune.) Also, in the old Star Trek episode “The Enterprise Incident” Mr Spock is tempted by a seductive Romulan Commander played by Joanne Linville. This is the first episode to feature a female starship captain; which is somewhat interesting, since Starfleet only allowed male captains to helm their ships at this time. (Seriously.) In the Voyager episode “The Q and the Grey”, Q off-handedly mentions that he could’ve mated with the Romulan Empress, although this is never really explored. Caithlin Dar (The Final Frontier), Valeris (The Undiscovered Country), Narissa (Picard), Tasha Yar’s Half-Romulan daughter Sela (TNG) and Commander Toreth (TNG) also come to mind. Deanna Troi also impersonates a Tal Shiar officer in one episode of TNG, at least implying that Romulan culture is no stranger to women in power. There’s a lot more of this stuff in the Rihansu/Romulan Way books although I have not read them (yet). On that note, Elnor (Picard) is space Drizzt, in that same intangible way that Riddick (Pitch Black) is also space Drizzt.

    Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune are worth reading, but keep in mind that Frank Herbert was actively dying at the time and I really got the feeling that he was racing the clock when he wrote them. There was one more book planned, but he never got that far. The prequels and sequels were written largely by his son, and it's just not the same.

    People who turn their noses up at the books written by Brian Herbert and Keven Anderson do not know the stories of what happened to Duncan after he fled Chapter House, they also lack the prelude to Dune books, written by Brian and Keven. Brian and Keven used notes written by Frank Herbert on the future books and story lines. They deserve a read by true Dune fans.
