Dune 2: What Paul's "May Thy Knife Chip & Shatter" Line Really Means
Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides says "May thy knife chip and shatter" in Dune: Part Two, and there is a deeper meaning to the line for Paul's story.
Dune: Part Two gives Paul Atreides a key line from the books, and there is a deeper meaning behind him saying "May thy knife chip and shatter." The second part of Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel further explores the rise of Timothée Chalamet's character as the leader of the Fremen. Picking up immediately after Dune's ending, Dune 2 greatly expands the way audiences understand the Fremen people, their culture, and their customs. This is part of Paul's journey to leading the Fremen into war with House Harkonnen and his attempt to bring new leadership to the galaxy.
