Дюна. Дом Харконненов

The way the house is portrayed as morally complex and brutal adds a dark layer to the story. I wonder what influences shaped this portrayal.

The intricate plots kept me hooked but also made some parts hard to follow. Was this intentional to reflect real political chaos?

The backstory adds depth but also raises questions about how much was planned from the start versus developed during writing. Curious about that process.
