Wall

A wall is a structure that defines an area, carries a load, or provides shelter or security. There are many kinds of walls:

  • Defensive walls in fortification
  • Walls in buildings that form a fundamental part of the superstructure or separate interior sections, sometimes for fire safety
  • Retaining walls, which hold back earth, stone, or water
  • Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls or rivers levees)
  • Permanent, solid fences
  • Border barriers between countries
  • Brick wall
  • Stone wall
  • Etymology

    Wall comes from Latin vallum meaning "...an earthen wall or rampart set with palisades, a row or line of stakes, a wall, a rampart, fortification..." while the Latin word murus means a defensive stone wallEnglish uses the same word to mean an external wall and the internal sides of a room, but this is not universal. Many languages distinguish between the two. In German, some of this distinction can be seen between Wand and Mauer, in Spanish between pared and muro.

    Defensive wall

    The word wall originally referred to defensive walls and ramparts.

    Wall (play)

    Wall is a 2009 play by David Hare, in the form of a monologue. It was first performed in March 2009 at the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs at the Royal Court Theatre by the author himself, directed by Stephen Daldry. Its topic is the Israeli Security Barriers in the West Bank and Gaza and it is intended by Hare as a companion piece to his monologue Berlin and its passages on the Berlin Wall.
