In the last paragraph of the Great Gatsby, Nick is standing inside Gatsby's mansion describing the loneliness that is overwhelming inside the house now that Gatsby has passed. After describing the alone, empty house, Nick describes the green light which had stood across the water at Daisy's house. The reason Jay Gatsby watches the light constantly is because he is thinking of Daisy. He is blinded by her and her beauty. Fitzgerald connects the Dutch sailor's to Jay because both loved the light and were the leaders of their time. They sought after this light.
