Stuck right at the begining

Its my first from software game. I know its supposed to be hard but i just cant make any progress. I met the maiden and try to go somewhere but i instantly Die. A group of 3 Guards kills me. I feel like a whiny bitch posting this but i litelary cant Play when for the past hour i died every 2 minutes. I got this gamę for my birthday and i really want to enjoy this but i just cant. It feels like pure torture
