who is the patriot reffered by robert browning in the poem the patriot?plzz help me

There's no black and white answer and the poem is
certainly open to interpretation.  What is certain is that the speaker (the Patriot) is
someone who was once beloved and welcomed by the public, but has since become hated and
reviled.


Many interpret the poem to be talking about a
soldier.  He speaks of his return from war a year ago when he was celebrated as a hero
and welcomed by everyone with open arms.  However in the present, they are violent
toward him.


Some believe that the "Patriot" is a Jesus
character and that the poem depicts his last days; when he was first welcomed to and
celebrated in Jersualem days before his crucifixion.  Just as the with the Patriot, the
public quickly changed their opinion and went from celebrating them to persecuting and
acting violently toward them.
