Njal´s Saga 2

For the first time, Njal appears in the book. Along with him, a new character called Gunnar is introduced. These two seem to make a perfect duo. While Njal demonstrates a very distinguished mind and natural ability to solve problems, Gunnar stands out in strength, bravery, and extraordinary fighting skills. I couldn’t help relating this to the comic X-Men, where a combination of mind and body is also present. Dr. Charles Xavier is a defenseless man who lives his life on a wheelchair, but thanks to his knowledge and experience, he is also the one who controls an entire army of powerful mutants such as Wolverine or Cyclops. In this case, Charles Xavier would be Njal and the other X-Men would represent Gunnar.

I wasn’t able to understand Njal’s plan of action, probably because I have no clue how the negotiation of lands worked back then. I only know that Gunnar is suppposed to trick Hrut into giving Unn her lands back.
