This paper tends to investigate Immorality written by Andre Gide, famous French writer of the 20th century. This research studies imagines of soil element in the Immorality which is seen frequently in reverie of characters in this book. We show how author’s point of view and imagination result in speculations subject to this element, creating images to show internal spiritualities of characters in this fiction. This paper tends to study imagination of the writer through his reveries and created images on soil element. There are some images used in this work subject to the above element and it is evidence on dualistic vision of Gide. This paper studies unconscious tendencies and the reveries appeared frequently in writer’s consciousness. Toward this goal, we use Gaston Bachelard's literary criticism approach. Based on this, literary images on soil element let us recognize speculation of Gide.

Rend is, according to Hafiz, a superior or perfect man. In his Divan (collection of poems), Rend is defined as a person who has a paradoxical character in his manifestation and a moderate one inwardly. Rend is neither exorbitant nor negligent. In view of Andre Gide, Hafiz was a perfect artist worthy to be followed. Gide,like Hafiz, was in search of high honor. He wished the Fruits of Earth to be considered like Hafiz’sDivan as an epistle of honor. Gide being in harmony with Hafiz, imagined his Rend in the body of Menalc.The common features between Rend and Menalc were investigated in Hafiz’sghazals and Gide’s works. To aim this, first, using an analytical approach based on comparative literature, a definition and a brief analysis of Rend and its features have been studied to compare Hafiz’sRend and Gide’sMenalc. Giving examples of these two and finding their common thoughts, the effect of Hafiz on Gide has been shown.
