Answer: C. He is a common person.
The speaker in "The Widow at Windsor," a poem by Rudyard Kipling, is a common man. He is a soldier for Queen Victoria. This is who the "widow" is meant to be. The soldier describes through these verses how powerful the Queen is, and how she uses her power indiscriminately to get what she wants. This poem destroys the idealism of soldiers going to war for a good cause, and presents the Queen as somewhat abusive and cruel.
