One thing that really interested me in The Great Gatsby was the symbolism. There is so much symbolism in this book. The three symbols that stood out to me the most are the green light, the valley of ashes, and the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleberg. They are all things that need to be read into, these things in the book aren't things you can just pass by which really interested me. Symbolism can put so much meaning into a story if you know what they mean. The green light is probably the most famous symbol from the book but I think it's worth it, it means so much and I feel like the book wouldn't be the same to read if you didn't know what it meant. In my point of view, symbols played a very important part of the reading of The Great Gatsby.
