MYRTLE
- Old money

- Very romantic language used to describe her. Ex: ‘It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down as if each speech is an arrangement of notes that will never be played again. Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth—but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget.’

- Tries to pass the buck to someone else.
- Description focuses on voice, mannerisms and charm.

- Tacky, brassy, fake.
- Introduced right after the Valley of Ashes.

VALLEY OF ASHES:
-By Chavi Sahai
- Symbol of moral decay.
- Is 'inescapable.'
- 'About half way between West Egg and New York the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land.'
- 'Fantastical farm.'
