Quote 1 "Involuntarily I glanced seaward - and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of a dock." (21).

This quote is at the end of chapter 1 when Nick is on his way home. Nick looks at his neighbors dock and sees Gatsby reaching out to the sea. When he looks for what he is reaching for he sees the green light. The green light is a reoccurring symbol in the story that first appears here. The Green Light is a representation of multiple themes in the story. The Green Light is very significant to Gatsby representing all that he hopes to achieve.

As the Literary Scholar, it is my job to point out important symbolism present in The Great Gatsby. I'll be addressing three symbols, the first being the mysterious "Green Light" that Gatsby reaches for, the second being the books in Gatsby's library, and the third being colors. It's my belief that, although there are more symbols present, these symbols have a great impact on both the reader and the characters in The Great Gatsby when you take a second to think about them.

The green light, the most recognized symbol in this fantastic novel. When Gatsby is first seen by our narrator Nick Carraway, he is seen reaching out to the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, not just across the sound, but at the farthest edges of the universe. The text reads, "Involuntarily I glanced seaward-and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far way, that might have been the end of a dock." (Fitzgerald 20)

To an ordinary person, this may have just been a green light on a buoy, but to Gatsby it was much more than that. This green light was his entire world, his dream, and he continued to chase it throughout this novel. The green light in itself represents Daisy, and Nick even goes on to say"...his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him..."

Jay Gatsby believed in the green light, and in my opinion believed in something that should not have been believed. Yet the undying hope he possessed help him beat on, a boat against the current, and led Gatsby straight into his grave.

Now this one is an interesting theory in my opinion. Did you know that in the 1920's, books had their pages untrimmed? This meant that when you buy a book, you would need to cut the pages in order to separate them, or else the book couldn't be read? You may be thinking, okay so Gatsby didn't read all of his books, the big deal? Well the big deal as that in a library has huge as this, with a man who prides himself as an oxford man, why have none of his books been read?

If you think back for a second, I bet you were wondering why "Owl Eyes" was even in the story. What possible reason was there to introduce a random character, present only for one scene, in this story? You'll need to connect these two ideas, think about it deeply. Gatsby has never read any of his books, he prides himself a highly educated man, he owns a mansion and throws fantastic parties, and yet the man doesn't even care about any of it. Gatsby's true goal throughout the book is Daisy, and everything he does is for Daisy.

Furthermore, what makes all of these "random" facts important is what is written in the text, when Fitzgerald just throws out there, "He snatched the book from me and replaced it hastily on its shelf, muttering that if one brick was removed the whole library was liable to collapse." Although this may not seem like much, it is by far the best symbolism in this novel. This quote symbolizes the fragility of Gatsby, the illusion he's trying so hard to maintain, and if "one brick" were to be removed, the entire library would fall apart. This in itself is a great move by Fitzgerald, and although overlooked by many, is one of the most important quotes in this book.
