How does symbolism enhance the themes in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"?

Symbolism in “The Great Gatsby” enriches the novel’s themes by providing deeper layers of meaning. For example, the green light symbolizes Gatsby’s unattainable dreams and the American Dream’s illusion, while the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg represent the moral decay of society and the idea of an omniscient moral judge.
