What are some examples of pathetic fallacy in Macbeth?

Answer 1

 Look like the innocent but be the flower under't

Answer 2

The weather in the play often mirrors the goings-on. This is because in Elizabethan times, people believed that the state of the universe could be disturbed but a horrible act of treason, such as the murder of a good king. On the night of Duncan's murder, a thunder and lightening storm raged outside. Ross and an old man conversed about strange goings-on they had noticed. The use of pathetic fallacy has the effect of making the scenes of fear or violence more intense. The audience realizes the severity of the situation. In the first battle scene, the witches discribe "fog and filthy air", which is representative of mystery, and of how things are not how they should be (the natural order is reversed, as suggested by the line "fair is foul and foul is fair")
