The green light at the end of Daisy’s dock
Quotes:
“I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock.” (Fitzgerald 180)
The light is one of the many ways that green is portrayed throughout this book. The light shows Daisy to Gatsby, who is still in love with her even if only from afar.
“I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes – a fresh, green breast of the new world.” (Fitzgerald 180)
This particular reference to green is for the opportunity available in the new world, also how everything was new and pure when the Dutch settlers first came here.
