In the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Myrtle Wilson demonstrates how members of the lower class cannot achieve the American Dream. Myrtle, a working-class citizen, associates herself with the wealthy in order to appear rich. During her apartment party, Myrtle changes into a party dress and, “with the influence of the dress her personality had also undergone a change. The intense vitality that had been so remarkable in the garage was converted to impressive hauteur…until she seemed to be revolving on a noisy, creaking pivot through the smoky air” (Fitzgerald 39-40). Myrtle strives to be someone she is not by changing into an outfit she thinks implies she is wealthy. She tries to be rich by dressing the part, but the poor side of Myrtle still lurks within her, as displayed through the term, “smoky air.” “Smoky air” relates to the Valley of Ashes, yet at this point in the novel, Myrtle is in New York. By revealing that the “smoky air” of the Valley of Ashes follows Myrtle to New York, a wealthier location, Fitzgerald demonstrates how simply associating with the wealthy is not enough for Myrtle to actually obtain the American Dream. Her attempt to transcend class structures ultimately leads to her death, which reveals that the working class cannot grasp the American Dream.
