Last line:So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Meaning: there is a hopeless with respect to personal progress.... and ultimately our destiny does not push us forward but alas backward into the past. Hence we are tethered to our past forever.Fitzgerald is suggesting that even though Gatsby may confused the idealistic American Dream with the materialism that marked the jazz age, it doesn't matter. We will still dream because we are Americans; the compacity to dream is what made out country to begin with, and it's what still defines us as Americans, and perhaps makes the exception to other nations. We are dreamers.
