Pathetic Fallacy

Pathetic fallacy is when the mood in a piece of a play is interpreted by the weather and natural environment.

Example:

An example of pathetic fallacy in Shakespeare’s Macbeth is when the king came to Macbeth’s castle because they have won the war and they come to celebrate and the weather was really nice and calm because of the emotion in the scene.
