In chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby, Nick continues to attend Gatsbys parties throughout the summer, and their friendship grows. Gatsby encourages Nick to enjoy his private beach, hydroplane, and other luxuries to set the record straight with Nick. Gatsby talks about his past, but the stories ring false to Nick as they reflect too much of the rumors. One day, Gatsby and Nick drive to New York, and Gatsby introduces Nick to his business associate Meyer Wolfsheim, who has a questionable past because of some gambling. During the lunch with Wolfsheim, Nick gets his first unpleasant impression that Gatsbys fortune may not have been obtained honestly. Nick perceives that if Gatsby has connections with such shady characters as Wolfsheim, he might be involved in organized crime or bootlegging. The chapter also sheds light on Gatsbys past and illuminates a matter of great personal meaning for him: the object of his hope, the green light toward which he reaches. Gatsbys love for Daisy is the source of his romantic hopefulness and the meaning of his yearning for the green light in Chapter 1. That light, so mysterious in the first chapter, becomes the symbol of Gatsbys dream, his love for Daisy, and his attempt to make that love real.
