Wie kan me uitleggen wat nu precies een 'Prenter' is onder Bene Gesserit? May be I should pose the question in English but I don't know the original word for 'Prenter'.

"Imprinters are the most talented and most highly trained Bene Gesserit with extensive skill in seduction, sex and sexual imprinting. Men in a position of power or future power, or those with specific qualities that the order wishes to incorporate into their breeding program, are typical targets of a Bene Gesserit imprinter. Men seduced by an imprinter are permanently affected (imprinted) by the intense sexual experience and are thereafter consciously or subconsciously favorable to the Sisterhood. An imprinter can be successfully resisted if the subject has been psychologically pre-conditioned to do so, and the subject's automatic defensive response may even be entirely subconscious."

So, in short, the imprinters are the best Bene Gesserit that can use sex to brainwash/convert/persuade regular people to support their cause. Imprinted is someone who has been brainwashed/converted/persuaded by Bene Gesserit to support them.

PS: I suggest that even people with mediocre knowledge of English attempt to train themselves to read books in their original english language. It will be tough in the beginning, but the payoff is worth it. I'm saying this because I know a lot of Dutch know good english.(less)
