Helena Atreides
Leto’s mother; a noblewoman of House Richese.
Overview
In House Atreides, Helena knows that others are watching her family’s behavior in their theater box. She sets the discipline of public representation against Paulus’s relaxed manner.
Place in the universe
The scene shows a distance between the story a House tells about itself and everyday family life. Helena’s Richese connection links the Atreides household to the history of another Great House.
