ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -The persona, pluralized as personae or personas, is a chosen voice by which a work or story is told, always for a storytelling purpose. A persona can also be a character or mask someone (like a performer, for instance) puts on for the purpose of elevating their work and/or concealing their own identity.

Detailed explanation-2: -persona, plural personae, in literature, the person who is understood to be speaking (or thinking or writing) a particular work. The persona is almost invariably distinct from the author; it is the voice chosen by the author for a particular artistic purpose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voice. When an author writes a first-person narrator, he or she needs to adopt a particular “voice”-a verbal personality for that narrator. This is also a persona. But only when the narrator is a character-even if we don’t know their name.

Detailed explanation-4: -A persona is a character who acts as the main protagonist in a story. The persona can be an individual, group or organization, and the writer will use their personality to give the reader a sense of what their character is like. They are usually defined by certain characteristics, such as gender, race and age.

Detailed explanation-5: -An author’s persona (plural: personae) is a voice he or she speaks through, and it is especially apparent in a poem or story with first-person narration. Readers of first-person narration often assume that the persona is the author.
