Colors and Meanings

The explicit color I choose is green, "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us."(pg. 180) I  believe that the green light represented all Gatsby ever wanted, his hopes and dreams. Which were being rich and having the wife he wanted, like his view of the american dream. Although, Gatsby was not all that close to his goal it was within his reach but there was still some distance, which is what the lake represents the distance that Gatsby never crossed to achieve his dreams. The light represented how everything was so close that there was no way that he could fail, yet he did.
