Augustus Characterization Changes

In the beginning of the book, Augustus is characterized as flirty and humorous. He often teases Hazel and jokes around basically all the time. As the author gets to know him more and as the story goes on, he transitions into a more supportive and careful person, although he still kept his sense of humor. I think that this character change shows the reader the positive and negatives to both being a more light-hearted person and a more serious, careful person.

As a light-hearted person, Augustus wasn't usually taken very seriously. However, his jokes and cheerful attitude raised everyone's spirits. Most people would come to him when they wanted to be cheered up.

Towards the end of the book, Augustus is more caareful and gives more advice. He doesn't take everything as a joke and in return, people come to him for support and advice.

The transition of Augustus's personality adds depth to the book.
