Anthropomorphism

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics, behaviors, or emotions to non-human entities, such as animals, objects, or natural phenomena. It is a common literary and artistic technique used to make these non-human entities more relatable or to express a particular point of view. For example, in children's stories, animals are often given human traits like talking and acting just like people. Similarly, in cartoons and movies, objects or abstract concepts may be anthropomorphized to create more engaging and entertaining characters.
