The assignment An essay on the green light in The Great Gatsby.
The green light at the end of Daisy's dock is one of the most significant symbols in The Great Gatsby. It represents Gatsby's hopes, his longing for Daisy, and his desire to recapture the past. Green traditionally symbolises hope and renewal, but also envy. Positioned just out of reach across the water, the light ultimately embodies the unattainable nature of the American Dream itself.
