Personification was used in Macbeth because Shakespeare wanted to relate to us humans with ie. nature which creates an added effect and atmosphere to the play.
Ex. After Duncan's murder, Macduff said that strange things had been happening such as earthquakes which relates to human although it is not human.
Ie. rain symbolizes sadness, despair; sun symbolizes happiness
