Among the different modalities of distancing from the enunciative poetic voice regarding the authorial voice, there is the concept of objective correlate, proposed by T.S. Elliot at the beginning of the XXth century. It deals with the materialization, concretion or expression of the poet´s emotions by describing an object, or narrating a situation. Among objective correlate modalities, dramatic monologue is the one with the highest degree of fictionality at the enunciative level among poetic genres. It is defined by its formal attributes, and its effect. Among them, a speaker whose expressed or inferred nominal identity is different from the author is used, an interlocutor who listens to the enunciative voice, along with a situation more or less shaped by the former. The dramatic monologue effect is, thus, to encourage the alternation between the identification and critical judgment of the reader facing the morally problematic discourse of the speaker.

Keywords : Objective correlate; dramatic monologue; poetry; enunciative voice; fictionality in poetry.
