  Kinoeye | Swedish film: Ingmar Bergman's Persona
As Kelly Oliver writes, alluding to the enigmatic opening sequence with its images of sacrifice, vampirism, crucifixion and death, "in their exchange, Alma is figured as the sacrificial lamb of the opening visual poem, while Elisabeth...is figured as the vampire."[1] However, the potentially devastating results of this psychological vampirism are insufficiently appreciated by most critics.
Even Oliver claims that, at the end of the film, "they each go back to their respective lives to take up their duties, their personae, as they did before." [2] For Alma, at any rate, that is not likely to be as easy as it sounds.
The factors alluded to in Persona that contribute to this "damming up" in Elizabeth include her great beauty, her choice of profession and her oversensitivity to the horrors of the objective world (as revealed in her reaction to the newsreel footage of the self-immolation of a Vietnamese monk).

 Persona : Where Sacred Meets Profane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
Persona is related etymologically to both person and personality, and Hopcke fully considers the ways that the social mask expresses and inhibits such dimensions of the fuller self.
The persona is our mask--the place in our personality where public and private meet, where who we are collides with who we're told we should be.
But, as C. Jung understood, the persona is not to be disregarded in the search for our true selves, but rather to be honored as an essential part of the rich and complex configuration of the whole person.

 The UVic Writer's Guide: Persona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
In a literary context, the persona is the character of the first-person narrator in verse or prose narratives, and the speaker in lyric poetry.
The use of the term "persona" (as distinct from "author") stresses that the speaker is part of the fictional creation, invented for the author's particular purposes in a given literary work.
The persona may be completely different from the author, as in the naive narrator of Swift's Gulliver's Travels (1726), or may seem to be identifiable with the author, as in the lyric poems of Wordsworth and Keats.

 Cooper: Getting from Research to Personas: Harnessing the Power of Data
The usefulness of personas in defining and designing interactive products has become more widely accepted in the last few years, but a lack of published information has, unfortunately, left room for a lot of misconceptions about how personas are created, and about what information actually comprises a persona.
The persona does not need to contain every detail since the people who did the interviewing are (hopefully) the people doing the design, and no one else has the time or patience for that much detail.
The same is true of personas; if you provide a detailed description, it implies that you observed that level of detail in your research.

 Wings Of Desire - Cinema: Ingmar Bergman - "Persona"
Persona is an astonishing "existential drama on the topic of the double and the mask", to be and to appear, an amazing game of roles in which the two women are trapped; they both lose the role played in their lives, modeling each other, until they completely lose themselves.
From this crisis, Persona was born and grew: i felt that every inflection of my voice, every word in my mouth, was a lie, a play whose sole purpose was to cover emptiness and boredom.
But Jung has a definition of persona that suits the film admirably: "The conscious artificial or masked personality complex which is adopted by an individual in contrast to his inner character, with intent to serve as a protection, a defense, a deception or an attempt to adapt the world around him".

 Jung: On The Persona
The persona is a complicated system of relations between individual consciousness and society, fittingly enough a kind of mask, designed on the one hand to make a definite impression upon others, and, on the other, to conceal the true nature of the individual.
Only, the danger is that they become identical with their personas-the professor with his text-book, the tenor with his voice.
But this I did learn: that any man who becomes one with his persona can cheerfully let all disturbances manifest themselves through his wife without her noticing it, though she pays for her self-sacrifice with a bad neurosis.

It was while laid up that he conceived the notion of Persona, in which a famous actress, Elisabet (Liv Ullmann) suddenly lapses into a muteness from which, though mentally and physically healthy, she refuses to emerge.
Actually, Persona is an occasionally cryptic but overwhelmingly powerful meditation on the parasitic interaction between Art and Life, the way the former feeds off the latter (Alma is distraught to discover a letter at one point which suggests Elisabet has been coolly observing her, as if for material).
Persona takes this to the extreme, where the nurse finds herself chattering away incessantly, whilst revealing ever deeper secrets about herself.
