Genre and point of view of these works are important to consider because they convey the context and content differently. 90, L 4-6 in The Fault in Our Stars, but the narration leaves us uninformed regarding how Augustus must have felt or what he thought.
Hazel always felt a rise in tension in her body, as narrated in Chapter 7, pg. For instance, it is hard to comprehend how each time the male protagonist, Augustus Waters, must have felt when he and Hazel Grace had physical contact.
The first-person approach minimizes the view of a reader as it heavily depends on what the female protagonist conveys and how she perceives things. In the novel, the story is narrated from Hazel Grace Lancaster’s perspective, who is the female protagonist. Whereas, in a novel, the intentions and perspectives of other characters cannot be well comprehended by a reader, because the story is dominated by the first-person narrative. All characters, in a play, have a role to play and a few dialogues to deliver which convey about themselves to the reader. In a play, a reader (if a play is in writing) can comprehend all the characters and perceive their perspectives because of the dialogues they deliver. One of them, Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare, 1597) is a play and the other, The Fault in Our Stars (John Green, 2012), is a novel that uses the first-person perspective. The point of view used to convey the context and content to the audience, in the two pieces of literature, is also different. Romeo and Juliet (William Shakespeare, 1597) is a drama and The Fault in Our Stars (John Green, 2012) is a fiction.
The genre of the two pieces of literature is not similar. Green uses Shakespeare’s work as a source for the title of his novel. This is the first and indirect relationship between the two works. The title of John Green’s novel was developed from a dialogue in Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare, 1599), as mentioned in the introduction. In both the literary works, the first thing to notice is their title one of which, that is ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ (John Green, 2012), is derived from a piece of literature that was written by the writer of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ (William Shakespeare, 1597).
