I don't understand why at one point, on page 50, Gunnar kills Kolskegg, but then he reappears in the next chapter (32). It suprises me how fast time goes by in this saga. One moment there is a married couple, and the next they are ivorced and he betrothed. Not to mention Gunnar and Hallgerd and their first meeting. They had just met and were casually talking when he decided to rpopose, and the mext moment they were preparing for the wedding.
Through the rest of these chapters I noticed that Gunnar's and Njal's wives don't get along, yet I don't understand why it is they just keep sending eachother's servants to kill eachother. Then they pay eachother back, appear to be at peace, but then one of them decides to start it all over again. I haven't quite understood why they continue doing this, but I hope to find out as I continue to read.
