examine the quotation from F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby as it relates to the entirety of the novel, not specifically the quotation itself. in other words how does the quotation contain the theme and plot of the novel.
And as I sat there brooding on the old, unknown world , I thought of Gatsby’s Wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. he did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the Republic rolled on under the night(9:151-152)
why is Nick Carraway brooding about the old unknown world and thought about Gatsby’s green light and his dream that he could hardly fail to grasp it why did he fail in his dream? Was it already set against him?
