Pathetic fallacy is a literary device in which human emotions or traits are attributed to nature or inanimate objects, often to reflect the feelings of characters or the mood of a scene. This technique is commonly used in poetry and prose to create a deeper emotional resonance. For example, a storm might symbolize turmoil or sadness in a character's life. The term was coined by John Ruskin in the 19th century as a critique of this anthropomorphism in art and literature.
