Abstract:
In this article, I discuss how masculinity is constructed in Old Icelandic Egils saga and Njáls saga through various kinds of unmanliness (impotence, lack of facial hair, baldness, effeminacy, cowardice, old age). Both sagas demonstrate the restrictiveness of gender roles in medieval Iceland and how men become their captives. The ideal of masculinity is so exaggerated that it becomes oppressive, because everything may be used against men. It leads to failed marriages and feuds. However, Egils saga’s and Njáls saga’s treatment of gender is critical.

Abstract:
The article discusses several aspects of the well-known enigmatic character of the Icelandic family sagas. Four cases are examined in detail: the cause of Unnr’s sorrow in the beginning of Njáls saga, the talk between Stýrr and Snorri in the berserks’ episode in Eyrbyggja saga, the identity of Vésteinn’s murderer in Gísla saga, and Guðrún’s enigmatic last words about her love in Laxdoela saga. The use of the enigmatic narrative form in all these cases is discussed. The article argues that this kind of enigmatic episodes in the saga literature should not be interpreted in the same way as enigm

Although the icelandic tales shows great similarities with the russian folktale in general, it also shows deviations.

Emnet jeg beveger meg inn i med denne oppgaven er fornorskinga av det danske språket på 1800-tallet. Jeg tar for meg ett enkelt verk, en oversettelse av islendingesagaen Njåls saga, og sammenligner den norske adjunkten, Karl L. Sommerfelts oversettelse fra 1871, med den danske oversettelsen av språkforskeren og nordiskprofessoren N. M. Petersen som ble gitt ut i et andre-opplag i 1862. Sommerfelt etablerte en opposisjon mellom de to oversettelsene i sitt forord, hvor han forklarte hvorfor han i det hele tatt oversatte sagaen når den allerede forelå på dansk.

It demonstrates how the source traditions discussed in chapter 2 and the thematic concerns examined in chapter 3 come together in narrative explorations of identity. Themes of gender and sexuality, family, human and non-human relations, friendship, and more are explored in brief yet thorough overviews of these Icelandic stories. The texts discussed in detail include: Auðunar þáttr vestfirzka (“The Tale of Audun from the West Fjords”), the poets’ sagas (skáldasögur), Egils saga Skallagrímssonar, the Vínland sagas, outlaw sagas (Gísla saga and Grettis saga), Laxdæla saga and Njáls saga.

Abstract:
The sagas of Icelanders are renowned for recurring acts of vengeance. What is perhaps less frequently considered is how often this impetus for vengeance is contrasted with relationships of mutual devotion between men. Through an analysis of the kinship between Kjartan Óláfsson and Bolli Þorleiksson in Laxdæla saga, and the friendship of Njáll Þorgeirsson and Gunnarr Hámundarson in Njáls saga, this chapter highlights how certain saga heroes are continually forced to choose either to betray a relationship with another man by seeking revenge or to risk forfeiting their masculinity by avoiding it. These sagas thus use the male condition as a construct to portray the conflict between competitive values and cooperative values at the heart of saga society. The fact that the authors remain silent on a solution to this conflict may suggest that they saw it as an inevitable characteristic of their society, or, perhaps even, of human nature.
