Having analyzed Vinland Saga's Canute, I do kinda get why the Resurrection did not strengthen his faith
Or anyone's
On one level, the Church back then probably did not fully transmit its hopeful message of restoration, thus not predestining us to damnation

On another level, as I laid out in previous tweets
Canute could not imagine what Resurrection hope is
In the Gospels, Jesus did not transform the human body into something else when he rose
Instead, it was elevated to what it was meant for before the Fall of Man

The Resurrection is the hope that gives Christian faith its meaning
It is not that we benefit solely from Christ dying on the Cross
If it was just that, we remain guilty, unreached
But bec we are meant to be resurrected with Jesus
That death does not have the final say
God does

I am hoping to dissect this "gap" in Canute's processing of his faith when Vinland S2 comes out
Which is why his dynamic with Thorfinn feels important
The renewal of a fallen Viking, who now sees dignity in others, could make him hope in the Resurrection too
As the Apostles did

Some details of this type of analysis I will save for perhaps another thread or even a possible academic analysis applying literature or religious themes
Vinland Canute is fascinating for what some do not notice and what is not fully explored yet is known via his Christian faith
