Connotation and Denotation in The Great Gatsby

Using connotation in the Great Gatsby helped me see what everything symbolized in the text and not take  the literal denotation like I would normally do.
For example the light on the end of the dock would normally be just a light to see where you were but using the connotation the light represents hope of Gatsbys affections.
