After Gatsby's tour of the house it starts pouring rain and Gatsby points out how he would be able to see the green light of daisy's dock, although the mist is too thick enabling them to see it. Nick observes the "colossal significance" of the green light. the green light symbolizes Gatsby's aspiration of winning back daisy's love. Once Gatsby achieved this goal the light "vanished", as if he has achieved his goal in life.The green light also represents achieving the materialistic American Dream which is a major theme in this novel, as Gatsby has to face the reality of Daisy, rather then the fictitious Daisy he has been dreaming of. While Gatsby is touring Nick and Daisy through his home, they make it to his bedroom and Nick describes Gatsby this way. This quote describes the development of a mood. Gatsby was embarrassed of his deeply rooted love for Daisy, but he was also overjoyed and filled with wonder. He had wanted this for so long and he couldn't help but think about the time he lost, which leads to the next piece of significance. Mr.Gatsby was compared to an overwound clock, which refers to time. Gatsby strongly refused to accept the time that had passed. He was desperate to reverse the past events in order to keep his relationship with Daisy to be as good as it was five years ago. This displays imagery because the clock directly correlates with the idea of passing time.
