Pathetic fallacy is a literary device where human emotions are attributed to nature or inanimate objects, often reflecting a character's mood. Personification is when human traits or qualities are given to animals, objects, or abstract concepts. So, while both involve attributing human characteristics to non-human entities, pathetic fallacy specifically relates to emotions in nature.
