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....” ...
