Fault In Our Stars Theme

The fault in our stars is a book written by john green. The story is about Hazel Grace Lancaster, a 16-year-old cancer patient, meets and falls in love with Gus Waters also known as Augustus in the book, a similarly afflicted teen from her cancer support group. Hazel feels that Gus really understands her. They both share the same interests and a love of books, especially Grace's touchstone, "An Imperial Affliction" by Peter Van Houten. One of the main themes of the book TFIOS is “Fear of Death”. Hazels has a fear of death which Is explained in the book through many events, like when hazel tells her parents about her depression, when hazel tells Augustus about death separating her from people and when hazel was forced to confront her death.
Hazel told Augustus about how death is separating her from her family and she’s scared to talk about death, since every time they discuss about the topic of death, her parents seem to be extremely worried and gloomy. “I could feel everyone watching us, wondering what was wrong with us, and whether it would kill us, and how heroic my mom must be, and everything else. That was the worst part about having cancer, sometimes: The physical evidence of disease separates you from other people.” (Grace 2014 – Page 144). This quotes explains hazels fear of death because she states about how she can feel everyone wondering about her, caring for her, specially her parents and since she doesn’t want anyone to be close to her, she’s getting separated from everyone. She doesn’t have a way out of this problem. For her, that’s the worst part about having cancer, and how her parents would think she’s depressed but in reality she is not. By a physical evidence, hazel means that her parents and her other relatives believe that she’s in depression and that starts separating her from them because she likes to be left
