The Fault in Our Stars

Ask litcharts ai: the answer to your questions.

Hazel Grace Lancaster is a seventeen-year-old living with cancer. At the request of her mother, who believes she is depressed, Hazel attends a cancer support group in the basement of a church. Hazel does not like the support group, but goes to make her mother happy. One day upon arriving at the support group, however, Hazel is delighted to see a handsome new boy in attendance. During the discussion, the attendees introduce themselves, and Hazel learns the boy’s name is Augustus Waters . Augustus has lost one of his legs to a form of cancer called osteosarcoma, but his cancer is now in remission. He is there to support his friend, Isaac who has lost an eye to a rare form of eye cancer and now must get the other eye removed.

After the meeting, August approaches Hazel and tells her she looks like Natalie Portman from V for Vendetta. Hazel does not believe him because she carries an oxygen tank and her cancer treatment has made her cheeks red and puffy, but they continue to flirt. Augustus asks her to come over to his house to watch the movie with him. Hazel agrees and after arriving at Augustus’ house, he introduces her to his parents. Their house is loaded with sayings embroidered on different objects. While hanging out, Hazel tells Augustus that she has thyroid cancer that has spread to her lungs, but she has been spared some time through a cutting edge treatment that has not been effective with many other people. Before leaving, Hazel tells him about a book she is obsessed with called An Imperial Affliction. She tells that the novel is about a young girl with cancer. She loves the book because of its honesty regarding the realities of dying. The novel ends midsentence, which Hazel thinks is genius, as it portrays the realities of death. She tells Augustus about her desire to contact the novels author, Peter Van Houten , to find out what happens after the book ends. Augustus agrees to read An Imperial Affliction if Hazel will read his favorite book The Price of Dawn . Hazel tells Augustus they can talk again after she has finished The Price of Dawn.

After reading, The Price of Dawn , which is particularly violent, but somehow enjoyable, Hazel calls Augustus. He is consoling Isaac who was recently dumped by his girlfriend, Monica . Hazel visits and watches them play video games until Isaac suddenly breaks down and begins punching pillows. Eventually, Augustus tells him to break his basketball trophies. After Hazel leaves, she does not talk to Augustus for a week. When Augustus finally calls, they discuss An Imperial Affliction, and Augustus nonchalantly says that he has contacted Van Houten through his assistant, Lidewij Vliegenthart . Hazel cannot believe he was able to contact the reclusive author. Augustus shares their conversation and tells Hazel his email address. Hazel begins developing a list of questions to ask Van Houten, mostly dealing with the novel's sudden ending. She desperately wants to know what happens to the main character’s family after she dies, as she believes it will provide some insight unto what will happen to her own family after she dies.

A few days after sending her email to Van Houten, he replies telling her that he can only answer her questions in person. His reply saddens Hazel, as she thinks she will never be able to make it to Amsterdam where Van Houten lives. Shortly after hearing from Van Houten, Augustus invites Hazel to join him for a picnic. As they venture out into the park and take a seat before a giant skeleton sculpture, Hazel begins to realize the picnic is strangely Dutch-themed, including the presence of the statue, which was created by a Dutch artist. During the picnic, August reveals that he wants to use his “wish”, a gift from the “Genie Foundation” (comparable to the Make a Wish Foundation), to take Hazel to Amsterdam. Hazel is ecstatic to hear this, but when Augustus reaches out to touch her face, she pulls away. She reveals that she is afraid to get close to people because she feels like a grenade —that her death will harm everyone close to her.

As Hazel contemplates what to do with Augustus’ offer, she grows ill and is forced to go to the hospital. She ends up in the ICU for a few days. She later learns that Augustus stayed in the hospital the whole time; even though she would not let him in the room for fear he would see her in such a state. After Augustus shows her another letter from Van Houten, Hazel becomes determined to go to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, Hazel’s parents and the team of doctors who care for her determine she is not able to travel such a long distance. Eventually, however, her favorite doctor, Dr. Maria , convinces her parents to let her go.

Augustus, Hazel, and Hazel’s mother, Mrs. Lancaster , fly to Amsterdam. After checking into their hotel, Hazel learns that Lidewij has made a reservation for Augustus and her at a fancy restaurant called Oranjee. During dinner, they talk about life and death and Augustus shares that he fears he will die without having done anything extraordinary. Hazel is offended by the idea that only extraordinary lives are meaningful. Augustus then tells Hazel about his ex-girlfriend who died of cancer. He laments the fact that people idealize kids who die of cancer, and explains that his ex’s personality changed due to her brain cancer, making her progressively more vicious toward Augustus until she died.

The next day they visit Van Houten. Hazel is elated to finally get the answers she has been waiting for about the end of An Imperial Affliction. Her dreams are shattered, however, after they find out that Van Houten is a miserable, mean spirited alcoholic. He claims he cannot give Hazel the answers she seeks, and rants about his nihilistic views of life and death. Eventually he insults Hazel, telling her she is dependent upon pity and that she, as a cancer survivor, is a side effect of evolution. Hazel slaps a glass of scotch out of Van Houten’s hand and leaves with Augustus. Lidewij accompanies them out, feeling sorry for the way Van Houten acted. Together, they visit the Anne Frank house. In the attic space of the Anne Frank house, August and Hazel kiss, and to Hazel’s surprise the other visitors applaud the young couple. After leaving the Ann Frank house, they head back to the hotel. In Augustus’ hotel room, Hazel tells Augustus that she loves him and they make love. The next day, Augustus confesses to Hazel that his cancer has returned and has spread throughout his body.

Upon returning to the United States, Augustus’ condition continues to worsen. Hazel watches as Augustus changes from a confident, humorous, beautiful young man to a vulnerable, frightened, and decimated shell of his former self. Despite his condition, Hazel continues to love him, and begins calling him Gus instead of Augustus, as his parents do. Through the process of Augustus’ decline, Hazel realizes that Augustus has become the grenade she feared she would be. In the final days before his passing, Augustus arranges a pre-funeral in the church basement where they met. Isaac and Hazel attend, and both deliver eulogies for Augustus. Hazel uses a line from An Imperial Affliction, which states that there are infinite numbers between zero and one, and an even larger infinity between zero and two. She follows this thought by stating that she is grateful for each little infinity she was able to spend with Augustus.

Eight days after the pre-funeral, Augustus dies. Augustus’ mother contacts Hazel late one night to tell her the news, and her parents stay by her side that night. His funeral happens a few days later in the same church where the support group is held. Hazel is frustrated when the pastor's talk about Augustus uses cancer clichés, saying how brave he was and what an inspiration he was to everyone. Just then she is startled by a voice that whispers the pastors message is a bunch of “horse crap”. She realizes it is Van Houten sitting behind her. The funeral continues and Hazel reads her eulogy, which is different than the one she read at his pre-funeral. She begins with a quote that hangs in Augustus’ house: “Without pain, we couldn't know joy.”

After the funeral, Van Houten asks Hazel and her parents for a ride. He explains that Augustus stayed in contact with him, and that he demanded Van Houten make up for ruining their trip. He attempts to reveal the fate of Anna’s mother, but Hazel is uninterested—she has her answers to what happens after death, as she is living through it with Augustus’ passing. A few days after the funeral, Hazel finds out from Isaac that Augustus was writing a sequel to An Imperial Affliction for her. As Hazel attempts to go to Augustus’ house to find the writing, Van Houten, who is sitting in the back seat of the car, once again startles her. He claims he wants to apologize, and tell Hazel she reminds him of his daughter, Anna, who died of cancer when she was eight. Hazel tells Van Houten to get sober and continue writing.

Eventually, Hazel finds out that Augustus had torn the written pages out of his notebook and mailed them to Van Houten so he could use them to compose a eulogy about Hazel. Van Houten sends the pages back to Hazel. The novel concludes with Augustus’ words. Hazel reads the letter, which states that getting hurt is inevitable, but we have a choice in who we allow to hurt us. His letter concludes by stating that he was happy with his choice, and he hopes Hazel likes her choice too. In the final line of the story, Hazel says she does.

BOOK REVIEW

The Fault In Our Stars

Peter Van Houten

Peter Van Houten (p. 111)

"Were she better or you sicker, then the stars would not be so terribly crossed, but it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he had Cassius note, ´The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves´"

The Fault in Our Stars

By john green, the fault in our stars study guide.

The Fault in Our Stars is John Green 's sixth novel. Green drew inspiration from his time working as a chaplain at a children's hospital and from his friendship with Esther Earl, a friend of Green's to whom the book is dedicated.

The book was released in January 2012, but it had already reached #1 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble's bestseller lists 6 months before, in June 2011, due to Green's (largely online) following. Green promised to sign every pre-ordered book, and did so in different colors of Sharpie proportional to votes on Sharpie colors sent in online. Once published, The Fault in Our Stars held the #1 spot on the New York Times Best Seller List for Children's Chapter Books for seven weeks as well as placing first or within the top ten on a variety of other bestseller lists, including The Wall Street Journal , Time , and The Guardian . There are over 1 million copies of the book in print in at least 10 languages.

Critics received The Fault in Our Stars very well, touting its humor, language, and perspective. Many other YA fiction authors, including Jodi Picoult, Markus Zuzak, and E. Lockhart, also applauded Green’s novel. However, one notably negative review from the Daily Mail describes The Fault in Our Stars as exploiting the stories of ill young adults, though Green responded to this claim in a later interview by saying the idea that young adults can't read critically is condescending.

A film adaptation of the book, also called The Fault in Our Stars , was released on June 6, 2014, directed by Josh Boone and starring Shailene Woodley (Hazel), Ansel Elgort (Augustus), and Nat Wolff (Isaac). The film too was popularly and critically successful, becoming number one at the box office during its opening weekend and receiving a 80% critic vote and 85% popular vote on rottentomatoes.com. Differences between the book include the elimination of the characters Caroline (Augustus's former girlfriend) and Kaitlyn (Hazel's school friend), increased rapidity in Gus's illness, and a scene in which Gus shows up to Hazel's house in a limousine.

The Fault in Our Stars

By john green.

From interestingly relatable characters to a captivating storyline, ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ stands out as one of the best realistic fiction romance novels in literature.

Article written by Joshua Ehiosun

C2 certified writer.

‘The Fault in Our Stars’  by John Green eloquently disseminated a heart-wrenching story to the audience and showed them the emotional vulnerability of its characters. The story dived into the ideology of its primary character, Hazel, and showed how her perception of life, cancer, and death affected her relationships.

‘The Fault in Our Stars’   presented a story where its primary character got thrown into a crisis she could never escape. Though her ailment was incurable, Hazel’s story changed for good as she met Augustus. The novel’s inculcation of love into Hazel’s life makes the story dynamic as the reader gets thrown into a state of euphoric agitation. However, the story brings its reader back to reality by revealing that Augustus would inevitably die. 

The novel propelled realism by turning Hazel’s romantic infatuation into sorrow. By losing Augustus, Hazel got thrown into the realization that her fate was ultimately inescapable. However, though she felt broken and torn, a letter from Augustus made her realize that though their love story was short, it was worth every second. The authenticity of the story made it an incredibly relatable tale. Its apt attention to intricate details about the lives of its characters made it a story worth reading.

The characters’ lives got limited to Hazel’s observation. Because the story occurred in the first-person perspective, Hazel’s relationship with the characters was the only way to give an insight into their lives. For one, Patrick got described as an over-optimistic middle-aged man who felt thankful for losing his fertility to cancer. Though some characters had a subtle and happy persona, Hazel still defined the majority as sad people waiting to die.

For the non-terminal characters in the novel, a shadow of sadness clouded them as each had a personal issue that made their life terrible. Peter Van Houten became a mean alcoholic because of the feeling of getting isolated from his family legacy. Both Hazel and Augustus’s parents never felt happy because they watched their children slowly lose to cancer. Some had a spark in their personality; one of them was Kaitlyn, Hazel’s friend from her life before cancer.

‘ The Fault in Our Stars’  dialogues was natural and progressive. The story’s fluidity made them intricately definitive. Though it got narrated from the first-person perspective, its dialogues were not dependent on the story’s narrator; this added to character authenticity. Though, for the most part, the tone had a melancholic affiliation, there were times when dialogues were happy and romantic. John Green’s use of short but precise sentences ensured the story never lost its emotional grip on the reader.

Writing Style and Conclusion

‘The Fault in Our Stars’  employed an excellent writing technique that disseminated story plots progressively. The use of compact sentences with a detailed description of events made the story leave an impression of realism on the mind of its reader. John Green’s use of simple wording made the story compact. 

The novel had a great ending because it expressed the essence of tragedy and love. It ended with Hazel stating that Augustus was the choice she never regretted. Though this proved her love for him, it did not dilute the fact that she was dying; this made the ending realistic. From the story, Hazel always admired abrupt endings, and her story’s ending was a perfect portrayal of an abrupt ending.

Is The Fault in Our Stars a good novel?

‘The Fault in Our Stars’   is a great novel. The characters, dialogues, and themes work perfectly in sync to create a story that draws out emotions from the reader. Because it pays attention to the lives of its characters intricately, the novel makes the reader relate to the story personally.

Who are the primary characters in The Fault in Our Stars ?

The primary characters in  ‘The Fault in Our Stars’   are Hazel and Augustus. Other characters that had an immense influence on the storyline are Peter Van Houten, Hazel’s hero; Fannie Lancaster, Hazel’s mom; Isaac, Augustus’s friend; Kaitlyn, Hazel’s friend; Lidewiji, Van Houten’s assistant and Dr. Maria, Hazel’s doctor.

What killed Augustus in The Fault in Our Stars ?

Augustus died from cancer. After he went for a checkup, it got discovered that his cancer had returned and spread throughout his body. On returning from Amsterdam, his health began to decline, and after some time, he gave in.

What is the last part of Augustus’s letter to Hazel?

“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”
