The Fault in Our Stars Pt. 2

The character development in The Fault in Our Stars shows the true bond of love between two young adults and how their medical condition affects the development of their character as the novel goes on. Hazel is the protagonist and narrator of The Fault in Our Stars; a unique and witty 16 year old girl with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer that spread to her lungs. Although lucky to be living thanks to an experimental drug called Phalaxinor, Hazel goes through a roller coaster of frequent health issues due to her diseased lungs. Unlike many people, Hazel approaches the idea of her illness lightly; she cares more about hurting the people around her rather than the tragedy of accepting her own death. Hazel is extremely intelligent, slightly stubborn, and very strong. She begins to accept those around her as the length of her illness comes to the end. Augustus Waters is a seventeen year old boy. He is determined to love Hazel no matter what might happen in the future, who is also very handsome and charming. He has been through a lot in his life, being  the cancer he had caused him to have a leg removed. Augustus isn't afraid to do what he wants because he realizes that someday no one alive at this time will be remembered. He's already had one girlfriend who died from cancer, but knows that his love for Hazel Grace is more important than what might happen. He is very loving and never gives up on Hazel Grace. The two never give up on each other no matter what problems arise which shows the meaning of true love.
