The quote above is a response he made to her commentary. When Augustus talks to Hazel for the first time, she sees him place a cigarette between his lips and instantly feels disdain for his actions. It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing. Hazel’s life showed that one does not need to experience suffering or happiness separately as they can occur together. However, after meeting Augustus, she let go, and even amid the pain and suffering, she found love. In the novel, Hazel knew that she was a grenade of pain that would explode at any time. It argues that suffering does not have to depend on happiness and vice versa. The quote above explains the concept of suffering and its relationship to happiness. ’Without pain, how could we know joy?’ This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate. The novel used interesting quotes to propel the author’s ideologies on life and love. By placing its characters in difficult situations, ‘ The Fault in Our Stars’ expresses its story with a readably-warm approach.
