Pathetic Fallacy

Pathetic fallacy is when something happens the weather changes to match the mood of the scene. For example if something bad happens it could rain.
In Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1 the witches say “fair is foul and foul is fair hover through the thog and filthy air.” This is pathetic fallacy because there is a change in the weather
