In Gatsby’s blind love, he incessantly praises the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock as the importance of keeping hope. When Daisy finally cuts off the light, she also severs Gatsby’s hope for his love’s return. The manipulation supports how crucial love is in Gatbsy’s life, showing that he has nothing without Daisy’s returned

Great emphasis is placed on the past throughout 'The Great Gatsby'. The past of five years ago comes to meet Daisy and Gatsby in the novel, drawing them both into an emotional extramarital affair based on only a memory of love they once shared. Jay Gatsby himself is haunted by the past, and the novel explores his attempts to regain "some part of himself that went into loving Daisy". He believes that he can take her back by repeating the events of five years ago- "'Can't repeat the past?' he cried incredulously.
Jay Gatsby and Daisy had a short relationship that Gatsby could not put behind him. While Daisy got on with her life and married, Gatsby waited five years and then found her again. After so many years apart from her and wishing to be by her side, Gatsby had created this fantasy of Daisy as the most wonderful person. He built expectations of her that she could barely hope to meet. When he found her, it must have been disappointing to discover that the dream that had consumed his life was not as wonderful as he thought it was.
As a struggle to find his acceptance, he tries to get Daisy. Not only because he loves her, but if he had her, he would be the most acceptable person in both East and West Egg. It was said in the book that Daisy and Tom had attended one of Gatsby’s parties in Chapter 6.

Marriage is another part that should not be jumped into too hastily, and should be taken as a serious commitment. One of my close friends once met a nice girl at his college one day, and they were married seven months later. I’ve met my share of nice girls, but deciding five months into a relationship that this person is “the one” and popping the question shortly thereafter? I don’t think that is nearly enough time to get to know a person fully, let alone get enough info to learn whether or not you would be willing to spend the rest of your life with this person!
