The major aspect of his dream is for his future to be with her and only her. As Nick notices someone staring across the bay he states, "I didn’t call to him, for he gave a sudden intimation that he was content to be alone — he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way... I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light" (Fitzgerald 21). Nick realized that this was Gatsby staring at the green light across the bay. The green light was located at Daisy's dock and represented Gatsby's hope to be with her. Gatsby needed something to keep him positive about his relationship with Daisy and the green light is what he chose. Gatsby also needed more confirmation after he began to speak with her again. He needed to believe that Daisy never loved her current husband Tom. He eventually lashed out at Tom saying, '"She never loved you, do you hear?" he cried. "She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!"' (Fitzgerald 130). Gatsby needed the conformation that him waiting five years to come back to Daisy was worth it for him. He believed that they were so in love with each other that she would never get over him and move on to others. Daisy states that she did love Tom but she did not love him at the time. This upset Gatsby and was the first step that was taken for him to lose her. The next step would cost his and two others
