Please answer the following question based on Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby.At the end of this chapter, Nick leaves Gatsby standing, staring at...

You have identified an excellent part of this chapter to
comment on. Note how Nick's comments regarding Gatsby's actions in staying by Daisy's
house and watching over her, in case she needs him, are described in explicitly
religious terms by the use of the words "vigil" and "sacredness." Yet again, Gatbsy is
presented as a fervently devoted knight errant, determined to do whatever it takes to
gain his "holy grail" and marry Daisy. The dream of gaining Daisy is shown through this
diction to have assumed a monumental importance in his life. He is willing to sacrifice
everything to gain it and to go through any hardship to achieve it. Yet, inspite of this
impressive dedication, Nick sees through his actions and recognises that Gatsby is
actually "watching over nothing." Although Gatbsy still has such high hopes, Nick now
sees that his dreams are destined for destruction and have no chance of actually
becoming real. Thus Gatsby is presented with all of his capacity of hope in tact, even
when it is clear to us and to Nick that his hope is profoundly
misplaced.
