It happened first in the book! He’s just trying to honor the source material.
Also, maybe he knew Winona Ryder is a thief?
Yeah, she stole my heart.
Coppola understands the power of Winona Ryder much better in his Dracula. When Winona Ryder dies in that movie, her husband immediately sells his soul to the devil and lives on as a demon for hundreds of years, on the off-chance that someone else who looks like Winona Ryder may someday be born. Then, when he finally finds her, he allows Winona Ryder to kill him.
This is how you treat Winona Ryder

Eggers is amazing and The VVitch is a desert island horror movie; I can't wait for The Northman

we're blessed to have The Batman and The Northman in two consecutive months; is there a good Man in May?

I just could not be less interested in The Northman.
. The ending caught me a bit off guard.
