Explanation and Analysis:
Much like in Herbert's preceding novel, Dune Messiah is carried by the relationship between characters and their physical environment. The religious practices of the Fremen feature more heavily in Dune Messiah, and these are directly influenced by the Fremens' relationship with their desert environment. (This extends as far as simple language—note, for instance, Paul's practice of saying "gods below" instead of the common English colloquialism, "gods above." This expletive refers to the sandworms as gods, in the Fremen pantheon.
