In the book Dune by Frank Herbert, the constant changes of name for Paul, the main character, reflect the sudden and frequent changes in his character throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, Paul Atreides, as he is known at the time, is on Caladan, his home world. ... This attitude makes Paul look very naive and foolish because, as Gurney says, “moods are for cows, not fighting! ... Paul acts as though he will never need to protect himself because he has never needed to.
The first change in Paul’s character is caused by his moving from Caladan: a peaceful, easygoing place, to Arrakis: a harsh world where smuggling and oppression are prominent. ... Paul starts to realize that he isn’t a boy who can be protected anymore and that he has to fend for himself. Eventually, his home is attacked, Paul’s father is killed and he is left for dead in the open desert of Arrakis.
