Gatsby's Enchanted Object

In chapter 5 Nick tells the reader that Gatsby’s “count of enchanted objects had diminished by one.” Nick is referring to the green light that glows on the end of Daisy’s dock every night. Prior to this day the green light represented one of Gatsby’s biggest dreams; becoming closer to Daisy. Now that Daisy is standing by his side, the green light will not hold the same amount of meaning. Daisy however, is completely unaware of the meaning the green light had on Gatsby. Gatsby’s dream that he had throughout his adulthood, now must change because he feels he can no longer get any closer to Daisy.
