In-depth analysis of Alia Atreides, also known as Saint Alia of the Knife and the Womb of Heaven. She is the sister of Paul Muad'dib Atreides.
Like many characters in Dune, Alia’s story is a tragedy – maybe the most tragic one. Hers is a story about a woman predestined to destroy herself. Alia is an abomination and to really understand Alia and her suffering, we need to understand what it means to be an Abomination.
