Quotation #2
This scene is appeared when Daisy,Nick, and Gatsby were looking around the Gatsby's house. In this passage, the green light symbolizes many things. Gatsby had been looking at the green light at the Daisy's house, and he didn't try to approach Daisy but just waited. The green light was Gatsby's hope and dream that he meets her again. Right before this passage, Gatsby says, "you always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock," to Daisy. He says his hope carefully to Daisy, and she answers through her action, putting her arm through Gatsby. And then, “that light had now vanished forever.” Gatsby’s only hope to meet Daisy came true and to him, the light meant nothing anymore.

This is a very perceptive comment. That is true; Fitzgerald never shows Gatsby looking out that green light at the end of her dock at any time after that.
