The fault in our stars

The title is inspired by the line in Act 1, Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, in which the nobleman Cassius says to Brutus: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, / But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fault_in_Our_Stars)

When I first heard about the movie “Fault in Our Stars,” I thought it had something to do with astrology, but far from it, it is a story based on the novel of author John Greene as narrated by a sixteen-year-old cancer patient named Hazel, who is forced by her parents to attend a support group, where she subsequently meets and falls in love with the seventeen-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player and amputee. There are many interpretations to this but the most common is that you are who you are not because of what you are fated to be but because of the sum of what you have done throughout.
