Symbolism In The Great Gatsby

The Symbol I have chosen for the cover of The Great Gatsby is the green light that Daisy Buchanan has on her pier. The green light symbolizes the hopes of Jay Gatsby getting Daisy back after 5 years of being in the military. He hopes for their relationship to be the same as it did when they first got together, but that’s not possible since she’s married to Tom Buchanan and has a daughter. Gatsby has moved to west egg and has bought an enormous mansion right across the bay and throws huge parties in hopes of Daisy wondering into one of them. One night, Gatsby goes outside, standing in front of the bay, looking at the green light. Nick Carraway, returning from Daisy’s house, sees Gatsby standing in front of the bay, holding out his arms to the light.
They finally meet and become friends. Gatsby then gets Jordan Baker, Nick’s love interest, to tell Nick his past with Daisy and the plan he has to reunite him with Daisy. The plan was for Nick to Invite Daisy over for tea and for Gatsby to “stop by” for a cup of sugar in order for Nick to reintroduce them both to each other. The plan works and Gatsby then takes her to his house and tries to show off his mansion and his belongings to her in order for her to be impressed. He tells her about how he lives right across from her and now the symbolism of the light is revealed. Later on, Gatsby meets her husband Tom and now Tom gets suspicious of Gatsby. Once he found out, Gatsby took advantage of the moment and told Tom that Daisy doesn’t love him and that she’s leaving him. After that, Gatsby and Daisy leave together in Gatsby’s car resulting in the death of Myrtle Wilson, Tom’s Mistress, due to them running her over. Her death resulted in the death of Gatsby because Myrle husband, George Wilson, thought it was him and shot him in his pool and shooting himself committing
