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.
