Dramatic
Monologue
The “Persona Poem”
Origins
 Technique can be seen in a lot of
ancient Greek dramas
 Became popular as a form of poetry in
the Victorian era with the poet, Robert
Browning (Father of the Dramatic
Monologue)
Features
 An audience is implied – We know
someone is listening, but the speaker
never comes right out and says it
 There is no dialogue – A monologue
is not a conversation!
 The poet is speaking through an
assumed voice – usually some sort of
fictional identity (i.e. a character)
Features (cont.)
 The dramatic monologue stands alone
– the poet does not offer any direct
analysis or commentary
 The audience is left to interpret the
character’s actions/motivations
Purpose
 To give insight into the character’s
personality
 To indicate to the reader the
character’s background or history
Purpose
 To give insight into the character’s
personality
 To indicate to the reader the
character’s background or history
