In Chapter 9, Nick compares the green light to how American, rising out of the ocean, must have looked to early settlers of the new nation. Gatsby associates it with Daisy, and in Chapter 1 he reaches towards the it in the darkness as a guiding light to lead him to his goal.
…….The Green Light: Sits at the end of Daisy’s dock, the light represents Gatsby’s hopes and dreams for the future. West Egg: “Twenty miles from the city a pair of enormous eggs, identical in contour and separated only by a courtesy bay, just out into the most domesticated body of salt water in the Western hemisphere, …… I lived in West Egg, the- well, the less fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them. The last image that we see is that Gatsby is looking attentively at a green light across the water.ġ: East Egg vs. When Nick gets home he sees Gatsby for the first time since he moved and heard the things he has about him. After the party Tom and Daisy hints that they want Nick to take a stronger interest in Jordan. The gathering finally breaks up because Jordan says that she has a golf tournament in the morning. While they are gone Jordan tells Nick that it is Toms mistress from New York. As Tom is away Daisy follows him to see if it really is his mistress. Daisy thinks she knows about Myrtle but doesn’t really want to admit it to herself. As they are talking and gossiping Tom gets a call from his mistress Myrtle. Tom starts talking about a book called “The Rise of the Colored Empires” which is in favor of white supremacy. Daisy and her husband Tom are very interested in them getting together. When Nick is at their house he gets introduced to Jordan Baker whom he does fancy. Nick gets invited to a gathering at his cousin Daisy’s house.
Nick is also not like most of the people on West Egg mostly because of the connections he has on East Egg. Then he talks about moving to West Egg where he originally wanted to learn all about the bond business. He gives us a summary of his life so far talking about his ancestors and everything up to his life now.
He talks about his morals and thoughts about who Gatsby is. In Chapter 1 we are introduced to our narrator and also one of the main characters, Nick Caraway.
