The Top 10 Scenes We Can’t Wait to See in “The Fault in Our Stars”

by Eden van der Moere on May 12, 2014

3. Let’s egg Monica’s bright green 1990’s Pontiac Firebird

“What,” asked the middle-aged woman a moment after I’d snapped the picture, “in God’s name—” and then she stopped talking.

“Ma’am,” Augustus said, nodding toward her, “your daughter’s car has just been deservedly egged by a blind man. Please go back inside or we’ll be forced to call the police.”

Somewhere in the beginning of the novel, we learn that Isaac’s girlfriend Monica broke up with him because she could not handle that he was going to be blind after his operation. It broke Isaac’s heart and that is why Gus decides to take revenge on Monica – by egging her car.

I love this scene in the novel, it is one of my favorites. Why? Because it’s funny and light and airy. It shows that, although Gus, Hazel and Isaac are suffering from severe illness, they are still teenagers and they see justice in egging somebody’s car. I expect this scene to be funny and refreshing, in between the drama and the epic one-liners.

3. Willem Dafoe Together with Woodley, Willem Dafoe gives the best performance of “TFIOS” as Peter van Houten, the mysterious author of Hazel’s favorite novel, An Imperial Affliction. To the characters Hazel and Gus, Van Houten might be the biggest disappointment of their short lives, but to the audience, Dafoe is magnificent. The actor truly […]
