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.

LITERARY TERM - ACADEMIC DRAMA/SCHOOL DRAMA

Academic drama, also called school drama, is a dramatic tradition which arose from the Renaissance, in which the works of Plautus, Terence, and other ancient dramatists were performed in schools and colleges. At first, these dramas were performed in Latin, but later also in vernacular adaptations composed by schoolmasters under the influence of humanism. This tradition produced the earliest English comedies, notably Ralph Roister Doister (c. 1552) by the schoolmaster Nicholas Udall.
