Explanation:
One of the most compelling examples of foreshadowing in occurs in Chapter 1 when Nick Carraway observes Jay Gatsby reaching out towards the green light at the end of Daisy Buchanan’s dock across the bay. This moment symbolizes Gatsby’s unattainable dreams and desires, as the green light represents his longing for Daisy and his aspirations for a better life. This early glimpse into Gatsby’s yearning and the distant, almost unattainable nature of his goals foreshadows the tragic trajectory of his story, ultimately culminating in heartbreak and disillusionment.
