The green light symbolizes Gatsby's longing for Daisy who he is separated from. According to F. Scott Fitzgerald, ¨... stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and far as I was from him I could have sworn he was trembling¨(Fitzgerald 26). The significance of this shows Gatsby's longing and the need of wanting to be with Daisy once more.
The Eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg represent the eyes of God watching the people from the Valley of Ashes as well as our main characters that play in the story. According to Fitzgerald, But his eyes, dimmed a little by the pointless days under the sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground (Fitzgerald 28). The significance of this quotation shows that these eyes are observing everything that is happening around them and sees all.
Gatsby's House Parties which he throws every week shows what type of person Gatsby wants to be known as, as well as the everlasting love that he has for Daisy. According to Fitzgerald, 'Knew when to stop too--didn't cut the pages. But what do you want? What do you expect? (Fitzgerald 50). The significance of this quotation shows the astonishment that the man with glasses had for Gatsby as he was educated, had real books, and even read them too.
The knocking over of the clock can represent many things, like Gatsby's nervousness or the time he spent waiting for Daisy, or even the amount of time Gatsby had left. According to F, Scott Fitzgerald, Luckily the clock took this moment to tilt dangerously at the pressure of his head, whereupon he turned and caught it trembling fingers and set it back in place(Fitzgerald 91). The significance of this quotation shows just how nerve-wracking it was for Gatsby to see Daisy one more after 5 years of them being apart.
Gatsby's car foreshadows that something bad is going to happen as when we see Gatsby's car he is not driving it Tom is. According to Fitzgerald, 'How do you like this one?' inquired Tom. 'I bought it last week' (Fitzgerald 130). The significance of this quote is that Tom is claiming that the car is his and that he would sell it to Tom, little do we know that this lie would be the end of Gatsby.
Mr. Wilson represents the hatred that he had for the person with who his wife was cheating as well as the murderer of his wife and the doom of Gatsby. According to Fitzgerald, It was after we started with Gatsby toward the house that the gardener saw Wilson's body a little way off in the grass and the holocaust was complete(Fitzgerald 170). The death of Gatsby and Wilson in this chapter is very subtle and the quotation given signifies just how subtle their deaths were.
