In The Great Gatsby one important symbol is the green light. It says, “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us” (180:Ch. 9). The green light represented the idea of Daisy, always close enough that you could see, but always just out of reach. Daisy herself epitomises the very idea of insincerity, she lives her whole life filling the roles she thinks she belongs in. When talking about her daughter Daisy says “I hope she’ll be a fool-that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.”…

Scott Fitzgerald places the green light there to bring hope not just for him but for others who also read the book that what to reach a goal.…

The green light literally is a constantly lit lamp at the end of the Buchanan’s boat dock. Its purpose serves to warn boats at night or during bad weather that a house’s there so it is always on. The implication of this serves to show and further enforces the idea of how a harmless object like a dock light or a dream can lead to deception and disillusionment. The alert of a dock marker means boats have to be fairly close before they can see the light. Gatsby‘s so close to his dreams “…that he could hardly fail to grasp it” (Fitzgerald 180).…

The American Dream promises equality, opportunity and happiness to those insistent on its pursual. However, F. Scott Fitzgerald contradicts this claim in his masterpiece The Great Gatsby, as he uses symbolism in order to portray the inability to achieve the American Dream and the corruption incited in its pursuit. Thus, Fitzgerald uses the symbol of the green light in order to represent the American Dream and Gatsby’s futile quest of this ideal. He also uses the valley of ashes to communicate both the decadence of the upper class as they carelessly splurge, and the resulting loss of vitality and hope in the lower class. Therefore, in The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald effectively uses symbolism to convey the fictitious sense of hope provoked by the…
