Question

What does Fitzgerald mean by:

"Possibly it had occurred to him that the collossal significance of that light had now diminished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, allmost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one."​

Answer 1

Gatsby saw the green light on Daisy's dock as hope, a symbol that one day he might be with Daisy. He now closed the distance between him and the green light and Daisy. Gatsby (figuratively, not literally) enchanted the object but now that special enchantment is gone because he's with Daisy.

hope this helped :)
