Summary: "En este cuento trágico tenemos una historia sencilla pero rica en interpretaciones. Cecilia es una pulga a la que han educado bajo ciertas normas y modos de conducta destinados a lograr la supervivencia, pero ella es una soñadora que se distrae con facilidad; después de haber recibido un entrenamiento para enfrentarse a la vida, se lanza a la calle de un barrio pobre con la consigna de solazarse en la suciedad para cumplir con su misión de vida. Pero apenas se asoma al mundo, comienza a distraerse observando los distintos tipos de personas a los que probablemente debería montarse para chupar su sangre: mira a los niños, a los hombres desarrapados, a las mujeres que regresan de la compra, hasta que ve a un señor bien vestido con un perro limpio y es entonces cuando comienza a cuestionar su destino, tal vez ella pueda aspirar a ser diferente y justo entonces se enamora, al contemplar a una hermosa muchacha limpia, de rico perfume y garbo andar. Desgraciadamente ese amor le resulta imposible y muere. Sin duda y bajo una lectura sáfica, estamos ante un caso típico de afianzamiento de la identidad heterodoxa, pero más aún, la interpretación es viable y directa, pues a Cecilia siempre se le dibuja con todas las atribuciones tradicionales de lo femenino asociado con la mujer: se pinta la boca, usa collar de perlas, lleva moño y usa pañuelo, por lo que podemos deducir que Cecilia en tanto pulga hembra femenina se enamora de una humana mujer femenina. La imagen de la página 26 no deja de confirmar este punto de vista, en ella vemos, en primer plano, a la mujer bella que pasa ondeando su cabello, con arracadas, diadema y a la usanza hindú y en la parte baja, vemos a Cecilia extasiada y con corazones rojos que flotan a su alrededor, denotando el nacimiento de su funesta pasión. Pero aún hay un trasfondo interpretativo de tipo histórico y social, pues la autora escribió el cuento como una especie de autobiografía cifrada en su lucha contra la dictadura española." - José Manuel Alvarado
