But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg.” (P.23) The valley of ashes represents a dark and gloomy area. Foreshadowing a dark event. The novel describes the men who work here to be covered in its ash, Gatsby ends up covered in its ash too.
