10. Idealized love The colours of precious metals increase in value throughout the novel. Nick de-
quote 1 (GG) scribes Daisy as a "golden girl" - she is a radiant character with a "glowing" voice
and face. Her "golden" image is also associated with money- Gatsby comments
that Daisy's "glowing voice is "full of money". Nick suggests that the young Gatsby
saw Daisy as "silver" whereas over time she becomes "golden". The increasing
value of the metallic metaphors show how unattainable she has become to
Gatsby- she embodies all he wishes to have.
11. Idealized love 'Stretched out his arms...trembling...green light' ' Gatsby believed in the green
quote 2 (GG) light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us'- Context: The
concluding sentences of the book when Nick is reminiscing about Gatsby and
what Gatsby believed in. Reinforces signi cant theme of lust- throughout the
novel, Gatsby is constantly thinking about the theme that a lot of the characters
in the book chase as well which is pursuing the visions of the future, which are
determined by the past, which is evident in how Gatsby plans his encounters with
Daisy. Gives insight on Gatsby's internal struggle throughout the book as well as
the struggle of the attaining of the American dream itself, as they "running faster,
, and stretching further" to attain something that moves further away. Furthermore,
Nick says that "we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into
the past" suggesting that as we struggle to attain something in the future we are
getting nowhere as the something is constantly dragging us behind.
12. Idealised love 'He literally glowed' 'he hadn't once ceased looking at Daisy'- It is not his silver
quote 3 (GG) shirt or gold tie that are bright now, but Gatsby himself. His inner fear is resolved
for the moment as the ful llment of his dream seems to promise. Contrast this
with how Nick describes Gatsby at the beginning of this day: "He was pale, and
there were dark signs of sleeplessness beneath his eyes."

quote 1 (Sonnet The nautical metaphor compares love to a star that acts as a steady beacon of

this method to compare how equally, without love, it is impossible to navigate
throughout life. Love acts as the "ever xed marke", constantly guiding lovers
through life's hardships.

death.
