Njal was a very intelligent man, he was always willing to give advice and help others. "Njal said that he was the most valiant man, 'and though you have been much tried, you will be tried much more, because many men will envy you." (pg 52) Njal was always trying to show the importance of having his frieds, and expressing his opinion of his friends. Knowing all the good things he was letting the other people know.
Not only he advised them on what he thought, but also seeing the destiny and what would happen if his advice wasn’t followed. After Gunner having killed two people from the same blood line, Njal told him what he should do to keep living, “Just as your first trip brought you great honour, you will gain even more honour this time. Then you will return home with great respect, and live to be an old man, and no one here will be your equal.”(pg122) Everything Njal said was very certain, and Gunner should follow this.
