Not all themes are intended by the author. That doesn't mean they aren't there. lord-of-shadow - 17/04/2010 06:54:14 PM 1072 Views

Just because something plays a dominate role doesn't make it a theme random thoughts - 21/04/2010 02:09:42 PM 883 Views

A theme is merely a dominant strain in a story; there can be more than one theme present Larry - 21/04/2010 11:21:38 PM 854 Views

Not really sure how Larry's definition is archaic. Ghavrel - 19/04/2010 07:52:27 PM 918 Views
Re: Not really sure how Larry's definition is archaic. HyogaRott - 20/04/2010 07:04:40 PM 775 Views
You're not using "archaic" correctly Larry - 20/04/2010 10:07:31 PM 794 Views
Your patronizing manner aside, that's not "archaic" at all. Ghavrel - 21/04/2010 01:46:50 AM 703 Views
doesn't that regulate the point down to interesting trivia? random thoughts - 21/04/2010 02:36:38 PM 828 Views

People who see this as an ecological book are missing the point of the book random thoughts - 16/04/2010 06:28:40 PM 1276 Views
Books can have more than one theme. Great books almost always do. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/04/2010 07:15:11 PM 410 Views
I agree with that I just never really the ecological theme to Dune random thoughts - 16/04/2010 10:12:26 PM 987 Views
Ecology goes more than one way Larry - 17/04/2010 12:12:45 AM 936 Views
There are several points to the book/series Larry - 17/04/2010 12:11:38 AM 1013 Views
Everyone get something different from a book random thoughts - 19/04/2010 07:01:51 PM 1184 Views
I believe those themes become more pronounced later in the series Larry - 20/04/2010 10:09:36 PM 944 Views
I remember having hated every single character of this book. Some random thoughts Lordling - 17/04/2010 05:08:25 PM 1140 Views

I thought all of Dune had begun as a serial in a SF magazine. *NM* Macharius - 22/04/2010 01:58:22 PM 351 Views
And Dune Messiah as well was serialized at first, in Galaxy *NM* Larry - 22/04/2010 09:31:54 PM 359 Views

I didn't see that in Alia Larry - 21/04/2010 11:27:22 PM 697 Views
There were a few scenes displaying Alia's abilities/mindset. (spoilers) RugbyPlayingAshaman - 22/04/2010 03:54:32 PM 719 Views
OK, that makes a bit more sense, as I wasn't for sure what you were arguing at first Larry - 22/04/2010 09:14:46 PM 821 Views
One of my favorite series! RugbyPlayingAshaman - 21/04/2010 03:30:57 PM 719 Views
