這句話是包含連詞"yet"的并列句，"yet"前面一部分，主語"His rise"，定語"to riches"，謂語"would seem"，可將不定式"to illustrate the chimerical proportions"看成是賓語，"of the American dream"是賓語的定語；"yet"后面一部分，主語"he"，謂語"dies"，破折號中的兩個副詞是狀語，"at the hands of"也可看作狀語；"who"引導非限定性定語從句，而且是個并列句，"who"修飾先行詞"garage mechanic"并在從句中做主語，謂語"mistakes"，賓語"Gastsby"，"for his wife’s murderer"可看作是賓語補語，"and"后面的部分主語"garage mechanic"被省略，謂語"shoots"，賓語"him"，"in his swimming pool"則為地點狀語。
