The Fault In Our Stars ~ John Green
The Fault In Our Stars
The novel “the
fault in our stars” is a fabulous work by John Green. It is a story of a
teenage girl Hazel who has been diagnosed
with lung cancer and attends a cancer support group at her mother's behest. Soon she
realizes that is a good idea when she meets with Augustus Waters a 17 years
old guy there.
Gradually
they become affectionate with each other and agree to read one another’s
favorite novels. Augustus gives Hazel “The Price of Dawn” and Hazel recommends
“An Imperial Affliction” by Peter Van Hautman. After which, the main plot twist comes
into the novel.
The “Fault In Our Stars”, is a reference to a line in
Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar Where Cassius says, “The fault, dear Brutus is not
in our stars,/But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” Quite deep, is not it?
Cassius seems to be saying that it’s not fate that dooms men, but instead their
own failings. But this novel really made us believe that it is not always us
but sometimes our fate really depends on ‘stars’.
The “Fault in
Our Stars” is brilliantly exploring the thrilling and tragic business of being
alive and in love…
The novel ends by saying, “You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world... But you do have some say in who hurts you... I like my choices....” ...
