Theme
The Fault in Our Stars is a prime example of how love triumphs over hardship and struggle.
Hazel has always lived, ready to die. She's started her relationship with Augustus knowing their time would be limited. Through that pain he still comforts her. He says "some infinities are bigger than other infinities... and this is our little infinity". That quote almost perfectly sums up their relationship in my eyes. Both knowing the terrible fate to eventually come, they both willingly dive head first into love with each other in the most beautiful and innocent of ways.
It's even the smallest moments, like Gus slowly helping cart Hazel and her oxygen up the many steep stairs of the Anne Frank house. Those moments are when we truly see the compassion and selfless love he has for her.
Also when their earth-shattering event occurs, it is that same love that holds them together through the storm. I also believe this theme is shown through their bravery to connect deeply and love each other even though they are aware of their limited time. They both choose to embrace the blessings life has brought before them and also to live and love without haste through their little infinity.
