Gatsby Ch.5
Nothing can life forever, and for Gatsby it’s going to be his love with Daisy. The mist was the reason why Gatsby couldn’t see Daisy’s home across the bay. The distance seemed short to Daisy but that was what separated him from her. Also the green light is the vision of his goals, in Gatsby’s world he wants to obtain anything he wants. Daisy is no longer an enchanted object for Gatsby. She is just a human being, which causes the light just to become a light. Gatsby has good intentions and dreams for Daisy that the enchantment fades almost immediately upon their meeting.

Im in agreement with you when you tie the significance of the green light to how he thinks of Daisy. However, I'm not quite sure what you mean by the first sentence. Anyway, I think that it's not just the green light that is no longer an enchanted object to Gatsby, but many other things he has as well. In other words, instead of caring so much about all of his possessions, Gatsby has pushed them aside and focused on the things in his life that really matter. In a way, he has learned to love again.
oh yeah good comment monsieur lockhart
