Fr. Ambrose seduces Julia and says he will come to her by night and make love to her, but she must cloak her face.

Characters

The Flea

The Narrator of the story is a flea.

The novel begins with the flea asserting that though he gets his living by blood sucking, he is "not the lowest of that universal fraternity".^[3] The flea further asserts that his intelligence and abilities of observation and exchange are comparable to a human, and demurs from any explanation of the cause, adding that he is "in truth a most wonderful and exalted insect".^[3] The unusual narrator allows the story to be written from the viewpoint of a nature who neither participates in nor necessarily approves of the sex scenes, and the movement of the narrator between the bodies of the different characters allows the action to follow unlike characters at different times.

Despite ostensibly being written from the first person the novel includes descriptions of the feelings and intentions of various characters which seem more fitting with a third person limited omniscient narrator.
