			This article is a complementary approach to Ian Maxwell's “Patterns in ''Njáls saga''” (''SagaBook
			of the Viking Society'', London, 1957-1961) with a narrow focus on a small section of
			the saga, namely the 6 lines enclosing Gunnar's decision to return to his homestead at
			Hlíðarendi in spite of his sentence of outlawry (ch.75: 182, lines 116-122). The author
			states that this famous section had been misunderstood, and argues, through a close
			analysis of semantics and word-order, that the scene of Gunnar's getting on his horse is a
			metaphor of his inner battle and frustration, a no-win he had been backed into repeatedly
			in the same way as Njál and Skarpheðinn had been. However, this tragic position is
			precisely what allows these characters to enter ''into the saga'', and not being out of it as others
			non-memorable characters.
