Njal´s saga

Even though it first concentrates on Gunnars history and then ignores Njal during a long time, I think that the stories that are being told really deserve to have been named after the man who wrote them. It could have been possible to change the book’s title to something more extravagant and original but this title is very well deserved. Other than the fact that Njal is the one who tells the occurrences, he is also the wisest and therefore this deserves to be named after him. His way of thinking and his intelligence make him a very wise and witty man and it gives him a great advantage in terms of survival during his life. I also noticed how Njal doesn’t resolve to violence that much, and if he does, he does it in an indirectly form since he convinces others to do the dirty job of killing. I just think that it was really nice to know that this saga is named after such strong character instead having had some other important character or theme to represent it.
