Perhaps it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy, he seemed very close to her, almost touching her. It seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was a green light on a dock again. His number of enchanted objects had decreased by one.”(Chapter 5)- Having someone like Gatsby who loves Daisy is so sweet. He will never give up even when she is married to Tom. His passion and desire to be loved by someone who cannot love him back is heartbreaking.
