The green light is one of the important symbols in The Great Gatsby. It is first seen in the novel when Gatsby stares across the bay towards it at the end of the dock. Further on in the novel the reader finds out the light is on Daisy's dock. The green light represents Gatsby's hope and future dreams, or mainly to make Daisy love him again. In chapter 9 Nick compares the green light to America rising from the ocean and giving people hope. The green light is hope for Gatsby for the future and him longing for the past with Daisy.
