Should dead characters remain dead? What do you think of resurrection

>think a Star-Wars-esque sci-fi story.

I would rather not think that

If that's even a valid question you're not talking about literature you're talking about genreshit.

This is the only board to discuss books, alright?

Buffy should have stayed dead the second time, but not the first time.

Why? Because it fit better in the story. If the resurrection is shoehorned in as a plot device, then, no. It shoudn't happen.

It is inherently disturbing: hence vampires and zombies. Death is true. It is part of the fabric of reality. Cheating it is off, and should appear so in the book.

Only if they return damaged and/or have limited time for one last ride, nobody likes magical resurrection without downsides.

My situation is I killed off a (main) character in my autsitic story and regret doing it. Now his daughter is having visions of him and I am wondering if she should find some ancient technology to bring him back / reconstruct him, in the Arthur C Clark way. There is already precedent for this and I have set up the arc in my mind, but I feel unsure whether to go through with it. Partly because it would mean he would overshadow his son, who isn't necessarily a weak character but it feels like he is having more of a background role.

is your character Jesus? if not, then let him die.
