Symbols
What does the blinking green light and the color gold represent?
Gordon P. Clarkson
For me the light represented optimism and hope.The gold was a symbol of material success which for Gatsby,is not enough."All that Glistens" etc.
The green light represents the fulfilment of the American Dream, Gatsby is for ever reaching out to it, but can never obtain it.
Next Gigs: Apocalyptica, Slipknot, Mindless Self Indulgence
yes the green light is ultimately a symbol for the fulfilment of the American Dream. so close, but so far away.
he can reach and reach but he cannot attain it.

but green is also a representation of money, envy, etc.
a lot to interpret there.
