DUNE: What Is ‘The Voice’ and How Does It Work?
In the narrative of Dune, the unique Voice employed by the Bene Gesserit has significantly shaped events since the story’s inception. Against the Sisterhood’s edicts, Lady Jessica imparted this skill to her son Paul Atreides. Rev. Mother Mohiam subsequently utilized it to coerce the stubborn young man into submission before subjecting him to the Gom Jabbar. This Voice also highlighted Paul’s growing strength when he employed it against Mohiam herself. However, in the second episode of Dune: Prophecy, Desmond Hart managed to disregard Valya – the source of this powerful vocal ability – when she attempted to use it on him.
