What Does The Valley Of Ashes Symbolize In The Great Gatsby
The symbol that I have selected to feature on the cover of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is The Valley Of Ashes. The Valley of Ashes represents moral decay and mainly symbolizes the poor, because in the story there are some poor and some rich, and the poor lives among the dirty ashes. The Valley of Ashes is between West Egg and New York, which consist of a lot of land by the dumping of ashes. What i’ve learned from the story was that The Valley of Ashes is a place for those with no substance to their lives and also a place for the poor who has no wealth. However, The Valley of Ashes is there for pouring all ashes from everything burned into the valley, which makes it harder for people that lives or have affairs there. In The Great
Gatsby, it shows that the more ashes that gets dumped on The Valley of Ashes, the more those who live there can’t live out their american dream. The Valley of Ashes is the location of George and Myrtle Wilson's Garage. Tom, Jordan, and Daisy, with their ceaseless social and exterior lives goes through the story living hollow, like the valley. Many see The Valley of Ashes to be many thing, I see it as a desolate land that is an affecting place full of people who has gave up on life and themselves because they’ve failed to achieve bigger and better. Those are the people that make those from the East and West Egg more wealthy and rich. The Valley represents and symbolizes a lot, such as Gatsby’s past and the lack of respect the characters have for marriage and relationships. I selected The Valley of Ashes as a symbol to feature on The Great Gatsby because it tells a big part of the story, including how the poor lives on The Valley of Ashes because they have no wealth, no life, messed up marriages and relationships and cannot live out their american dream. However, the rich are wealthy with money and they indulge themselves with a view for nothing but their own delight and satisfaction.
