Answer:
A persona poem allows a great deal of control over the distance between a speaker and the audience. Tate’s speaker chats directly to us, but not all persona poems encourage this one-on-one intimacy. Others invite us to sit back, observe from a distance, and even judge. The gold standard for this is Robert Browning’s dramatic monologue “My Last Duchess.” You may wish to play your students this recording of the piece, read by Alfred Molina, which highlights the dramatic possibilities.
