Saying Augustus is a hot boy, it means that Augustus is sexy and handsome. In the same way, Romeo's appearance can also be assumed by other people's words. In Act 2, scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet, after the ball Capulet holds, the nurse speaks to Juliet, " though his face be better than any man's, yet his leg excels all men's" (2.5, 39-41). By comparing Romeo's face to other men's faces, however, Romeo's is still better than others', which implies that Romeo has extremely beautiful appearance. Overall, this shows quite a similitude between the physical traits of these two characters.
The way to identity two similar people is not only based on their physical qualities, but also on the way they react when they encounter identical circumstances. For instance, on page 16 of The Fault In Our Stars, Augustus meets Hazel for the first time and cannot help stopping looking at her all the time. When Hazel asks why he looks at her like that, he answers that it is because Hazel is beautiful and he is attracted by her unique beauty (Green, 16). However, staring at Hazel for a long time from the moment he sees her in the support group is quite impolite because she is strange. It also emphasizes that Hazel Grace is extremely appeal to Augustus Waters so he cannot even move his eyes from her beauty. Correspondingly, Romeo has the same reaction as Augustus does. In the ball held by Capulet, when Romeo sees Juliet for the first time, he says immediately, "O, she doth teach the torches to the burn bright. Beauty too rich for use, for earth to dear! Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night"(1.5, 44- 53). Obviously, Romeo is captivated by Juliet's fabulous charm instantly and become a slave of her beauty. He thinks highly of her physical attractiveness and uses a metaphor to extol her. He compares Juliet's beauty to the light of the torches, and her beauty is even brighter.
