Dune: Part Two
Warning : incorporate despoiler for Dune : Part Two
Summary
Baron Vladimir Harkonnen ’s death inDune : Part Twois a striking moment in the movie ’s already volatile climax , but the scene is radically alter from the original version assure in Frank Herbert ’s 1965Dunenovel . LikeDune(2021),Dune : Part Twofollows the extensive narrative pulse of the source material , chart Paul ’s rise as the warfare drawing card and messianic Muad’Dib . However , while Villeneuve ’s first film made elusive adjustments to the story , Dune : Part Twohas some major dispute from the Koran – including the Baron ’s shocking death .
AlthoughDune : Part Two ’s story change are evident throughout , there are some areas where the picture show diverges more dramatically . One is in the discussion of Chani ( played by Zendaya ) , who is given far greater agency than her Word opposite number – even abandoningPaul inDune : Part Two ’s heartrending ending . Another major departure is in the movie ’s failure to properly introduce Alia Atreides , Paul ’s unborn sis who spends the integral film in utero . It is this decision more than any other that radically interpolate how Vladimir Harkonnen meets his end .

How Baron Harkonnen’s Death Is Different In Dune 2 Compared To The Book
InDune : Part Two , Baron Harkonnen is killed by Paul when his army of Fremen stop into the imperial complex on Arrakis . After being reprimanded byPadishah Emperor Shaddam IVprior to Paul ’s arrival , the Baron desperately attempts to grovel up the stone’s throw to get to the Saturnia pavonia ’s can – the ultimate object of his aspiration . However , he is helpless whenPaul get on the shot and stabs him in the throat , exacting revenge for his father ’s destruction inDune(2021 ) .
This moment is very dissimilar from the novel , as in the book it is not Paul who kills Baron Harkonnen at all . Instead , his death is call by Alia , who despite being a toddler , has been pre - born with all the knowledge of previous generations of Reverend Mothers , and so is intellectually an grownup . Alia poisons the Baron with the Gom Jabbar , antecedently used to essay Paul and Feyd - Rautha , and also reveals to him the Atreides ' familial tie to the Harkonnens . While both versions ensue in Vladimir Harkonnen ’s decease , the culprit and circumstances disagree enormously .
Why Paul Killing Baron Harkonnen In Dune 2 Is Better Than The Book’s Death
WhileAlia ’s actions in the originalDunenovelhelp install her character ahead of futureDunestories , the changes inDune : Part Twosuit the movie ’s narrative far best . On one spirit level , Paul vote out the Baron brings his retaliation account full circle . It grants him stop after the dramatic death of his friends and family and do as a comforting instant of catharsis . Another character killing him but would n’t be as satisfying for either the consultation or Paul himself .
A further thoughtfulness is that mystify to the novel ’s story would have radically alteredDune : Part Two ’s entire plot . Although the decision to result out Alia from the picture show is controversial , it also makes sense . Her genetic retentivity and adult sensibility , couple with her child ’s body , make her an extremely difficult role to depict – as shew by David Lynch ’s noble but ultimately uncanny attempt in 1984.Having Alia kill the Baron would have forcedDune : Part Twoto wrestle with all the other problematical aspects of her fibre , complicating an already multifaceted story even further .
After the explosive termination of Dune 2 , Dune 3 could cap off Denis Villeneuve ’s Dune trilogy by focusing on the result of the fresh Dune : Messiah .

Although theBene Gesserit had preserved its bloodline thanks to Margot Fenring , it was no longer one of the Great Houses of the Landsraad .
According to laterDunebooks , the Harkonnen homeworld of Geidi Prime at last fall under the legal power of Caladan . As Gurney Halleck was given the fief to rule by Paul , this made Halleck the de facto swayer of Geidi Prime . The fact that Halleck don ascendance of the major planet demonstrates the entire collapse of Harkonnen authority follow the striking climax ofDune : Part Two .
