	This article explores some tragic elements in Brennu-~~Njals~~ saga, a late thirteenth-century Icelandic saga. Although often described as such, there has been little elaborate discussion on precisely why this and other medieval sagas can be and often are considered tragic literature. Interpreting the saga through a critical lens drawn from Hegel's work on classical and modem tragedies provides a great deal of insight on this matter. More specifically, such a reading addresses just how Flosi ~~Poroarson~~, the leading perpetrator of one of the most villainous deeds in all of saga literature, emerges not as a villain but as a sympathetic and perhaps even heroic character. This reading also reveals not only a great deal about the subtle artistry with which Flosi's character is drawn, but also some key insight towards the unity of the saga as a whole.
