Does someone know books that are about nothing but when you analyse the subtext there is a huge new subject and thats the actual theme of the book?

cant think of a book right now but for example The Shining. It was actually about rape/killing the indians.

It was about post-9/11 America.

Dune was actually about sexism: the Bene Gesserit assumed that they would be able to control an omniscient being with all of their abilities to boot because he was male, and the events of the series proceed from this premise. Even if their plan for the conception of the Kwisatz Haderach had gone off flawlessly in it's setup, it likely would have failed regardless because one does not outthink an omniscient being.

That said, the rest of the novels by Herbert make it clear that this is not a dig at feminism by placing the Bene Gesserit in the role of protagonist after having learned their lesson.

That what you meant OP?
