“Out with stereotypes, feminism proclaims. But stereotypes are the west's stunning sexual personae, the vehicles of art's assault against nature. The moment there is imagination, there is myth.”
~~Camille Paglia
A persona is a mask. It is a literary device used by an author to tell a story or speak in a poem. The persona does not, necessarily, reflect the opinion of the writer.

In literature the persona is the narrator. Sometimes this is also a character in the story, especially in the case of a first-person narrative. Sometimes it's the author. And sometimes the persona (narrator) is really an additional character, and this fact may be more or less hidden by the author. This opens the door to the interesting literary device of the persona of an unreliable narrator, where the reader gradually realizes that the narrator isn't telling the whole truth.
