In the book ,touching the void I found a example of pathetic fallacy.
Pathetic fallacy is when the natural world reflects the events or feelings of characters in a text. A example of this is if a group of six teenagers get a trip to a scary haunted castle, and when arrived there,it’s dark and stormy. The author used pathetic fallacy, he puts picture in your mind of a dark and stormy castle.

Joe Simpson uses pathetic fallacy when he says“the weather had taken a turn for the worse and dark threatening clouds were rapidly converging on our exposed position.”

After Joe cut the rope and made Simon fall into the glacier Simon talked about how he felt helpless and hopeless, then he saw a whole and decided to go down it, whether did the book started saying how it was dark and getting darker as he went down, but the he saw a beam of light and felt relief.
