Short and succinct, the tale of Thorstein Shiver is one of the more comedic sagas and can be interpreted in at least two different ways: as religious or cultural propaganda. The saga tells the brief story of Thorstein's encounter with a demon from Hell, amusing in its treatment of both the demon and two characters who have been damned. Though it is a very short saga, the tale of Thorstein Shiver promotes Christian ideology attempted to be implemented by Olaf Tryggvason by depicting him as a compassionate leader and using the character of the demon to confirm the Christian perception of Hell.
