I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health.
So in terms of Dune books, I am still in the early section, but after youtube sent me a faked passage claiming Paul calling out Mohiam say "silence" quietly to show the movie screwed up (Actually in the book: "'Silence!'" Paul roared"), I decided to skip ahead and read the last chapter to verify it… so I actually ended up reading the chapter.
And what is interesting is that, despite having both the Dune-movies in my mind, what I pictured is actually Darth Vader making "deals" and threatening everyone. I feel like I am reading a villian overlord's thought, not a boy who grew up to take revenge against those that wronged his house.
And in a way, it shows how sometimes, following someone's journey can twist our perception. I can't say for others, but I guess, had I read it normally, I will find the chapter the cumulation of an hero's journey. By skipping ahead – thus feeling removed from his growth, I instead read a Dark Lord's raise – and thus show Herbert's concern about "heroes"
