for example, CAROLINE MATHERS! Caroline was Gus' ex girlfriend who passed away from cancer.

I went with my friend Jada to the Odeon cinema in Manchester.ġ.1 They (The writers of the script) missed indispensable events and people. But, more interesting at the same time.Īnywho, I watched the movie on 12th June 2014. But when you start to realise that actually maybe Gus dies, you don't even have enough time to prepare yourself emotionally, which makes it more heartbreaking I guess. The book begins with her being ill and encountering this charming dude who had cancer but doesn't anymore and as the reader, you assume that if anyone dies it will be Hazel. I mean it was extremely upsetting and I literally felt like my life was over, but if Hazel died it wouldn't have been as shocking. I even like that Gus dies instead of Hazel. I love the underlying message that, no matter how short ones life is, it can still be beautiful and meaningful. 'My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.' or the simple, yet meaningful. Which can symbolise Gus trying to take control of his health, and maybe even his life, which he feels he has no control over. Putting the killing thing in your mouth but not awarding it the power to kill you. For example the notorious cigarette metaphor. I first read the fault in our stars on New Years 2014.
