Felix (Charlton)

Origin
Karl Crowder owns a flea circus. He is obsessed with studying the dramatic interplay between three of his fleas, Rosa, Felix, and Herman. He explains to his skeptical friends that Rosa loves Herman. When Herman tries to impress Rosa by pulling a tiny cart filled with dirt, he can't manage the feat. Comforting Herman for the failure, Rosa thinks about it. She decides Herman is the culprit, as Herman is also in love with Rosa and jealous of Herman.

One of Karl's friends tells him the insects have no consciousness at all. He says Karl is just seeing what he wants, because desires to feel as if he holds the "world in his hands".
