Quote #10

"He is dead, beloved," Chani said. "Our son is dead."
Holding himself under stiff control, Paul got to his feet. He reached out, touched Chani's cheek, feeling the dampness of her tears. "He cannot be replaced," Paul said, "but there will be other sons. It is Usul who promises this." Gently, he moved her aside […].

Paul very unceremoniously deals with the death of his son. His attitude suggests that maybe Paul at the story's end has more in common with the Baron Harkonnen than with Duke Leto. That's a scary and pretty all-around depressing thought.
