Concerning The Great Gatsby, the
green light at the end of Daisy's dock represents Gatsby's closeness to his dream. He
can actually see where Daisy lives after five years of dreaming about her. He spends
time nights just staring at the light.
I'm not sure what
you mean by the line in your question about Gatsby realizing who Daisy is. He is in
love with her until the end. She chooses not to go with him, but his love never
changes. Even after she chooses Tom and hits Myrtle and lets Gatsby take the blame, he
stays at her house like a peeping Tom to make sure Tom doesn't hurt her. Then he waits
for a phone call from her the next day.
Again, the green
light demonstrates how close Gatsby is to his dream. The light is so close, and yet so
far, as the cliche goes.
