The theme of The Fault in Our Stars is that there is
struggle and trial in love. This has developed in the book because Augustus and
Hazel become more in love whenever they are together and they have many
struggles with cancer. One example of a struggle is Augustus having cancer and
dying towards the end of the book. They met in Support Group one day and then
ever since Augustus is all Hazel could think about. “A boy was staring at me,”
(Green 8). This was the first time Hazel and Augustus met. “Augustus Waters
died eight days after his prefuneral,” (Green 261). This was when Hazel tells
the reader about her biggest struggle yet, Augustus dying. The characters become more mature in my opinion and meet more characters. The character are an important role in the theme and the plot.
