Standard Form


Introduction 
Power, power is what moves the universe. There is someone always looking to get bigger and to get richer and many won’t stop until it is too late. Power is defined as a person, group, or nation having great influence or control over others. This means that there must always be someone who is lower in power. Naturally there will be some sort of tension between the person in power and the person who is under the gun. When and where there is tension something or someone will have to break in order for there to be a winner in the power struggle. There must be conflict in order for there to be a resolution.
Body
In creation of an Emperor there must be some sort of heir to the throne which would create a royal family and in return would bring up a middle class, a lower class, and a serf class. Yes there is indeed a class system in the universe of Dune but this system is very complicated due to the amount of people and groups in Dune that are power hungry and seek some way to find more power or to meddle in other characters’ lives. In this universe there are class systems upon class systems. Entire class systems are in constant movement in the power chain because of its sheer complexity.
Conclusion 
The rise of the Atreides family to the throat of power defiantly shows how the power in a class system can shift dramatically. With the help of great knowledge of how the universe works, helpful Fremen allies and mystical miracle drugs, the Atreides family was able to change the fabric of the Dune universe forever. But would the Atreides family be in total control forever? Would the Manipulator of the universe ever step down from his ultimate throne of power? Or will someone have to find a way to take down an even stronger nearly impossible force to handle. In a system where power is in constant motion and nothing is sure to stay the same anything could happen.
