GREAT GATSBY
Great Gatsby
The beginning of the book originates during the summer time and changes seasons as the book goes on until finally ending at the start of fall. The change of seasons represents the agonizing emotional draws between the characters as their personalities evolve from the sadness of the rainy season in the spring and then heating up to the hot weather of the summer. Throughout these season changes, Jay Gatsby reveals the outcome of his belief in “the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us”. As Gatsby hides his revived relationship with Daisy, the green light is a symbol of hopes and dreams for the future. In the beginning, as Daisy and Gatsby reunite, the weather outside is very cold; it is raining, symbolizing the sad moment. “While the rain continued it had seemed like the murmur of their voices, rising and swelling a little, now and then, with gusts of emotion”. Afterwards, the sun comes out, as Daisy and Gatsby realize that they still have feelings for each other. “There were twinkle-bells of sunshine in the room, he smiled like a weather man, like an ecstatic patron of recurrent light, and repeated the news to Daisy”. “What do you think of that? It’s stopped raining”. Clearly, for Gatsby, the beginning of summer brought a sense of renewed hope, a fresh start for his emotional relationship with daisy. Event though, since the beginning of the summer, Daisy was aware that her husband Tom, had another girl. As Gatsby and Daisy’s relationship becomes more serious, which is at the end of summer in the hottest days, Tom starts to notice. Through the novel, there are several parts of foreshadowing. The most intense moment would be when Nick is on the train and the conductor exclaims “Some hot weather! Hot! Hot! Hot! Is it hot enough for you? Is it hot? Is it….?” Evidently, this quote is significant because it foreshadows Gatsby and Tom’s confrontation later that day. Since things were not going good at Daisy’s
