Waiting for the Light

As the night progresses Nick finds Gatsby in the yard all alone. Nick finds it strange and ackward that Gatsby is alone standing in the dark. In a sense, though, Gatsby isn't alone. He is staring into the night across the bay waiting for a sign from Daisy. She is with Tom and Gatsby is afraid that he will try and hurt Daisy. In quote 4 is shows Gatsby as desperatly waiting for a sign from Daisy. I think that Gatsby's true reason for staring across the bay is because he's afraid that he is losing her. He is afraid that Daisy will realize that Tom will protect her and no longer need Gatsby. So Gatsby waits, and waits and waits. But Daisy never puts on the light. This signifies that Daisy does not need Gatsby any more. And so that is it. Daisy and Gatsbys affair is over. She will run of with Tom and Gatsby dies alone, just like he feared. He's perfect plan alomost ahieved what he had dreamnt about for years.
