What is the difference between Pathetic Fallacy and Personification?

Pathetic Fallacy and Personification are different. First clear this in your mind.

Pathetic Fallacy is attributing human qualities to inanimate objects or natural beings. e.g. Sun sadly moved away from his path.

Personification is directly giving human qualities to inanimate objects or natural beings. e.g. Sun was smiling like an kid with a candy in his mouth.

What is a Motif? - shoreline.edu

"Motif

This term has a number of definitions, but as I'll be using it here, it means an element that repeats throughout the story, and in so doing carries additional significance beyond its literal meaning. Motifs can take different forms:

• images (a tree that the character sees repeatedly, perhaps in different seasons, conveying ideas about growth, death, rebirth),
• words or phrases (something a character or the narrator repeats, with different connotations at different times),
• places (the character keeps coming back to a certain place, or remembering the place)
• events (an exam that several characters have to take at different points in the story)
• ideas (the narrator keeps referring to, say, the idea of reincarnation)"

New Criticism is a form of literary criticism that triumphed as the predominant critical form in the 1940s through the 1960s. John Crowe Ransom is responsible for naming New Criticism in his book of the same name, published in 1941. New Criticism quickly became "the" way to read literature and poetry, and was taught in both college and high schools.
The critic should be free from his or her own feelings or emotional response when reading the text. Only criticism that stuck to the text was of value.
Newer critical theories have reintroduced the consideration of the author's intent from a psychological or historical point of view. Other critical schools, such as structuralism, evaluate the specific language of the text to derive multiple meanings.
