Volta is a term which is used in sonnet. It is related with the feeling of the poet in a sonnet.

Although the persona often serves as the “voice” of the author, but one should not be confused with the author only, because the persona may not accurately reflect the author’s personal opinions, feelings, or perspective on a subject. Famous literary persona includes a wife-murdering Duke who speaks in the poem “My Last Duchess” (1842).
