Question

I know a pathetic fallacy is when the weather represents someone's emotions, but what is the opposite of that?

Answer 1

Hint: In the formulation of an argument, a fallacy is the use of incorrect or otherwise flawed reasoning, or "wrong moves." A misleading erroneous argument may look to be better than it really is.

Complete answer:
To begin with, the pathetic fallacy does not simply apply to the weather; it also applies to animals and inanimate objects. The sad fallacy is when human sentiments, attitudes, behaviours, and ideas are attributed to inanimate objects or animals. The pathetic fallacy's polar opposite would be to assign human characteristics to animals or inanimate objects, that is, personification. When a writer gives a non-human object human behaviour, this is known as personification. As a result, the author personifies the thing. Any term or phrase that is not to be taken literally but is employed in writing for impact is referred to as figurative language.

Objectification, on the other hand, involves reducing someone to the level of an object, thus it's the polar opposite of the pathetic fallacy. However, Chremamorphism means "applying the qualities of an inanimate item to a person." As an example,
"Her eyes twinkled like stars in the sky, and her face shined like the moon"
The eyes and features of a lady are given the qualities of stars and the moon in this verse.

Zoomorphism is the practise of ascribing animal characteristics to humans, such as:
"He's gone completely batty!" Using an animal to refer to a masculine character as insane.

Thus, the opposite of pathetic fallacy is personification or Chremamorphism.

Note: The pathetic fallacy is a literary term for attributing human emotion and behaviour to non-human objects seen in nature. It's a type of personification that happens in poetic descriptions, such as when clouds appear sad, leaves dance, or rocks appear uninterested.
