JOHN GREEN AND THE FAULT IN OUR STARS: LOVE, ILLNESS, AND THE MEANING OF LIFE IN CONTEMPORARY YOUNG ADULT LITERATURE
Abstract
This article examines John Green’s novel The Fault in Our Stars as a major work of contemporary young adult literature. The study focuses on the representation of love, illness, emotional maturity, and existential reflection in the novel. Special attention is paid to the way Green presents adolescence as a psychologically rich and intellectually serious stage of life rather than as a simplified period of emotional instability. The article argues that the novel goes beyond the limits of a conventional tragic romance and offers a deeper meditation on mortality, identity, and the human desire to be remembered. Through its distinctive narrative voice, emotional honesty, and philosophical depth, The Fault in Our Stars occupies an important place in twenty-first-century young adult fiction.
