1. I'm Going To Drain The Pool To-day - Mr. Gatsby. Leaves'll Start Falling Pretty Soon - And Then There's Always Trouble With The Pipes." "Don't Do It To-day - " Gatsby Answered."

The Valley Of Ashes Is An Image Of Complete Desolation And Poverty. It Symbolizes The Moral Decay And Inner Emptyness That Is Hidden Between The Glamorous Facades Of 'the Eggs' And Manhatten.
When Nick See's Gatsby And Daisy Back Together A Sudden Negative Idea That He Notices Runs Through His Head- "(Attach Quote.)" The Idea Of Daisy And The Feels Of Fresh Love At First Has Been Captivating Gatsby All These Years - So Much That He Has Devoted His Life And Soul For This Woman. All This Time Gatsby Spent Without Her Had Led Him To Create And Exetremly Idealsied Illusion Of Perfection And "Colossal Vitality" In Gatsby's Mind. However His Dream Of Being With The Woman He Loves Becomes So Idealised And Glorified That Daisy No Matter How Adequate Of A Woman Can Not Live Up To The Expectations That Gatsby Has Set Out For Her. These Expectations Had Founded And Built Upon Ever Since Gatsby Slept With Her Five Years Ago.
Because Of The Expectations Gatsby Has Set For Her During The Long Years Of Separation - Daisy Has Become A Symbol Of Happiness And Love For Him. He Could Not Bear The Notion That Who He Considers To Be His Divine And Only Love Has Affection For Someone Else. This Realization Nearly Destroys His Conception Of Love For The Past Five Years As He Murmurs Almost Subconsciously And Grasps Desperately To The Last Straw Of Hope By Repeating The Question - "You Loved Me Too?" This Is His Last Ditch Effort To Force Himself To Believe It Can't Be True.The Notion That Daisy Could Potentially Love Another Man Is Actually Killing Gatsby. The Consequences Of Daisy Possibly Loving Someone Else In Any Moment Of Time Ruins Gatsby's Perfected Fantasy.
Gatsby Tries To Defy The Passage Of Time And Cling On To The Past; Even As The Autumn Leaves Are Beginning To Fall - He Won't Let The Servant Clean The Pool - And Instead Decides To Go Swimming As Though It Were Still The Height Of Summer. This Becomes An Especially Potent Symbol Later On - When Wilson Finds Gatsby In The Pool And Kills Him; If Gatsby Had Been In The House - And Not Pursuing Hobbies Out Of Season - Things Might Have Gone Much Differently - Though Of Course - Because Of Gatsby's Hamartia - This Could Never Be The Case.
