Character Analysis Of 'Hazel Grace Augustus'

Decent Essays

The protagonist is Hazel Grace Lancaster. She is a dynamic character. An example that is the fact that at the beginning of novel she wants to distance herself from society. Then she meets Augustus Waters. Augustus has the view of that everyone matters using metaphor to explain it. By the end of the novel she realizes that it's ok to let people in and that everyone will die eventually but you have live your life to the fullest. She's also a is a round character as we get a lot of insight on her option and life.

The antagonist of the story is not a person but cancer itself. The cancer limits the activities that Hazel and Augustus can do. People constantly judge hazel for her oxygen tank just because she's different the reason cancer is the antagonist is because it prevents all the main characters from what society defines as normal teen lives.

You could also say the antagonist could be Augustus Waters. The rasin for this is the fact the before hazel meet Augustus she was trying to not impact anyone in her life. Her main goal was to live without hurting anyone but Augustus get in her way.

Hazel grace Lancaster is one of the main characters in fault in are stars. We watch her physical grow weaker an example is at the beginning of the book she takes the stares and at the end she takes the elevator at her support group. The book is really about her mentally and philosophical grow and understand especially concerning death. At the beginning as I have stated she is obsessed with what negative effect she will have on people around her when she dies and refuses to get close to anyone. Also referring to herself as a grenade multiple times during the novel. A good word to describe Hazel is a brutally honest person.she knows that cancer doesn't define her. Unlike a lot of people she has no fluff when she talks about cancer an example is at the beginning of the novel when she says:Whenever you read a cancer booklet or website or whatever, they always list depression among the side effects of cancer. But in fact, depression is not a side effect of cancer. Depression is a side effect of dying. This honest approach is what keeps her going but also makes her very lonely. Hazel is also very humorous. I like her
