10. What is the "valley of ashes"?

Explanation

The "valley of ashes" refers to an industrial zone. In the novel The Great Gatsby, it is described as a desolate and barren area located between the wealthy communities of East Egg and West Egg. This industrial zone represents the decay and moral emptiness of the American Dream, as it is filled with the ashes and waste produced by the wealthy upper class. It serves as a metaphor for the harsh reality and corruption that lies beneath the glamorous facade of the wealthy characters in the novel, particularly highlighting Gatsby's isolation and loneliness in his pursuit of wealth and love.
