Green light on Daisy’s dock, which is a concrete object that also represents the abstract concept of yearning and the American dream.

Answer:

Symbol #1. Gatsby's grand and lavish mansion symbolizes his high lifestyle. It also shows the inner conflict of Gatsby and foreshadows his loneliness hidden behind his lavish estate. It also symbolizes his unbound love for Daisy.
