Word Entry #4 - The Yellow Wallpaper

1. "They have used a horizontal breadth for a frieze, and that adds wonderfully to the confusion" (359).

2. My guess: I know that the character is talking about the wallpaper, and from the context clues, frieze must be some sort of decoration or technique that adds to the wallpaper.

3. Definition: "A broad horizontal band of sculpted or painted decoration, esp. on a wall or near the ceiling" (Google.com)

4. I understand now, frieze is just an added decoration to the wall where the yellow wallpaper is; this addition is adding to the characters confusion of the frustrating yellow wallpaper.
