The paper deals with primordial conflict between the natural self and the made-up self. The attempt to pursue a life of instincts is investigated. The Puritan upbringing and traditional embedded values need to be unlearned first; and then one can hear the call of the Adam- an instinctive self. The shift from Puritan self to an instinctual one is supported by a severe illness; it compels Michel to focus on his body overtly; it arouses the Adam covertly. His reveling in the instinctual life, refusing the established institutions, and rejecting the traditional roles make him an ‘immoralist’. However, the author has not been judgmental regarding the conflict as he has left Michel with a question about his freedom; he has achieved the freedom but does not know what to do with it. Gide, though not justifying Michel’s behaviour, seems to be in his favor the way Milton is said to have been of Satan’s party. Key Words: Puritan, instinctive life, sincerity, Adam, the life of desires, freedom, immoral
