Abstract
This essay considers the relationship between body and monstrosity. On the one hand, it presents the idea of body as a discursive and eloquent map in the creation of sense-constructions; on the other, it reviews the presence of monstrous characters in three Chilean novels: Pedro Prado’s Alsino, Carlos Droguett’s Patas de perro, and José Donoso’s El obsceno pájaro de la noche. From these premises, it proposes that the bodies of the protagonists in these novels symbolise an overall failure of a social and political system.
