Question

What did the green light at the end of Daisy's dock represent to Gatsby?

Wilson tells Myrtle that she can fool him, but she can't fool God. What symbol represented God? Do you think that is an appropriate symbol?

Which of the Ten Commandments, and there were several, was most violated in this story and why? What are the lesser ones?

Answer 1

the green light represents Gatsby's love for daisy, his envy of Tom since Daisy loves him too, Daisy's wealth, Gatsy's reminder of living... a number of things.

The symbol that represented God was Dr. T J Ekelburg ( the eye doctor advertisment that was on the road to the city (when Tom Nick and Myrtle went to the secret apartment to have a party)

I think the biggest one was Do Not covet your neighbors spouse or whatever.

Answer 2

When Gatsby sees the green light across the lake and into Daisy's shore, blinking, this light reminds him of his total love for Daisy, he has done everything to be close to her, while Daisy still lives her day to day existence. The light symbolizes to Gastby that Daisy is still within his geographical reach, and as such he fantasize as to what she might be doing and even willing her to love him back, at a distance and eventually to obtain the ultimate American goal, that is to get the girl that the boy loves.
The "all seeing eyes " of the large optometrist sign perched up above the place where Mirtle deceives her husband Wilson with
Daisy Buchanan's husband Tom, are symbolic of The Contempt that God might have upon the so ever deteriorating values of the American society, as to Honor, cherish and protect in the 1920s
Thou shall not commit adultery.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor wife or possessions and above all Thou shall not Kill.
This novel is about the decadence of American society in the 1920s the hollowness of spirit and pity of the distincive classes towards those others below their class status. This includes that Daisy and her class do not care about human life or human suffering. This is easy to see when Gastby takes the blame when Daisy kills Mirtle in a car accident, then Gastby gets shot by Mirtle's grieving husband and the Buchanans do not go to Gatsby funeral because after all, he was "newmoney" and not one of them. Jay Gastby's love attention deserved better than Daisy Buchanan.
Please read the book, one of Fiztgerald's best.

Answer 3

Did you read the book? I'm not trying to be mean, but it sounds like you haven't read, because these are pretty basic questions. If you didn't understand, that's a different matter -- but try offering your own ideas, and seeing if people agree with them. Otherwise, getting other people to answer your questions is cheating.

Answer 4

You have a final, huh? Never heard of Cliffs notes? See link below. Do read it sometime it is a classic...and not too bad a read.
