If it wasn't already obvious enough, plundering villages for valuables and food and even people to sell to slave traders was a common thing. To experience it as a child must really suck though, even if it's a village you're not from. Not accepting the meat and not killing Askeladd in his sleep are also something that's interesting to think about. Even though he wants revenge so badly and even though he's so hungry he's about to collapse, he doesn't throw away his pride. He doesn't accept leftovers, even though he's forced to after, as he couldn't find or catch anything to eat, and he doesn't kill Askeladd in his sleep, even though thouse would've gotten him what he was after. Is it worth starving or even dying for the sake of preserving your pride or should you disregard your pride and do what would be the most beneficial for you? It's also interesting how Askeladd described Thors' death as "normal" but Leif described it as "honorable". I feel like Askeladd was hiding his true emotions here, but it's truly hard to say. It's clear Ylva is keeping herself busy just to bury her feelings in work. I feel so bad for her, but that is the best way to keep yourself from thinking about negative things. Seeing Thorfinn finally make some progress and find his own food and learn more about how to fight was truly satisfying. There clearly is still a gap in his and Askeladd's abilities, as was to be expected, but there was some progress. Gotta hand it to Thorfinn though, trying to fight a sword with a dagger, especially without a shield is a risky play. If Askeladd actually was serious Thorfinn wouldn't have stood a chance. It is interesting to see Askeladd teach Thorfinn to some extent during both duels though, regardless if through words or through the duel itself; I wonder if he truly cares for the kid.

yea this pride stuff I see in anime a lot, and I guess I can't relate to it at all. I'm always against putting pride first before other important things (I'm not saying he should have killed him in his sleep, this is a separate matter, but I'm talking about pride in general) I think Askeladd respected Thors a lot, and that's why he is letting Thorfinn off the hook and not chase him out or kill him maybe, he does seem to be soft toward him and I think it might be because of Thors

I agree. I think there are times where you should have pride but there are also times when you have to swallow your pride, like admitting when you're wrong or to do something vital for survival. I'd rather live in shame and eat scraps than stay hungry and starve. I like that the show forced Thorfinn to go back and actually swallow his pride to survive. I'm sure he learned something in that moment. I can see an argument for not killing someone in their sleep because it's cowardly, especially for how vikings were with their honor and such and I'm not fully convinced if Thorfinn should've done it ir not, but it is an easy way to get your revenge that you seek.

Thorfinn is very determined to kill Askeladd that he didn't even consider he's no where near ready to face someone like him. Time for him to grow as a warrior to determine why Thors said what he said and for us to learn more about Askeladd and his crew.

I would say not killing him in his sleep was an honourable choice for sure and I guess that's something I can understand. But other times as you mentioned, pride would just get in the way of your well being.

In this episode they were on the Northumberland east coast which is northern England.
