Thorfinn begins his duel against Askeladd with Canute and Thorkell as witnesses. However, Thorfinn is unable to strike as he stands overwhelmed by the extraordinary mood that overtakes Askeladd after Bjorn’s departure. Having noticed Thorfinn’s hesitation, Askeladd lays down his sword and provokes Thorfinn into an unarmed fight, which incites Thorfinn’s fury.
You're just like a dog chasing after food.
.أنت مثل كلب يطارد طعامه
Du läufst mir nach wie ein Hund,
dem man Futter hinhält.
Eres como un perro persiguiendo comida.
Eres como un perro con un hueso para roer.
T’es comme un chien, j’ai qu’à agiter
un os pour que tu m’obéisses.
Você é como um cão atrás de comida.
