The green light in The Great Gatsby is the light on Daisys dock. The light has a lot to do with the book and the setting. It also is a nother simbol out of many in the book. The reason Gatsby lives where he does is because across the bay he can see Daisys house. This shows how obsessed he is with Daisy and has never got over her.
The light also represents the past and future that him and Daisy have had." But the green light also represents the hazy future, the future that is forever elusive, as Nick claims in the last page of the novel, "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter – to-morrow we will run farther, stretch out our arms farther…." (1) Gatsby believes that every day that goes by that him and Daisy will grow closer together and hopefuly be able to be in a relationship.1.http://www.shmoop.com/great-gatsby/symbolism-imagery.html
