Starting the Film- Title? This phrase has been interpreted to mean that fate is not what drives men to their decisions and actions, but rather the human condition. Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, lines 140-141 As you watch the film, consider how Hazel & Augustus’s cancer impacts their actions regarding life and their views on their own mortality. Is it fate, or is it their actions that determine their life’s path?
