Rough Draft

The title of a book may hold more meaning than the reader generally realizes. In the case of the book, The Fault in Our Stars, the title of the novel contains significant meaning that contributes to an entire theme of the book. The title is derived from a line in William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar, which states “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.”  The interpretation of this line depicts that whatever higher power we were created from is not the cause of our corruption, mistakes, flaws or imperfections. This fault lies in ourselves, because we are the inferior and subordinate ones to the inferiority of our stars.
