4 What is pathetic fallacy?
Pathetic fallacy is a form of personification where natural or inanimate objects are given human characteristics. It is used in many art forms. Painters, writers and film makers all use pathetic fallacy to create mood, express a theme or build tension. For example, in a film the weather may reflect the character’s emotions. This is pathetic fallacy. Some examples are shown on the following slide…
