Why did he think that Frau Frieda’s dreams were a stratagem for surviving?
Solution and Explanation
The author thought that Frau Frieda's dreams were a stratagem for surviving because she had revealed about herself that she sold her dreams by foretelling fate about others in the town and had made more fortune out of it. Then she was hired at a salary that covered her minor expenses to predict a religious family's fate at Viennese. So, the author had always thought her dreams were no more than a stratagem for surviving, which never surprised him.
