This article is based on the Peruvian Cronwell Jara’s Montacerdos to investigate the topics of monstrosity and animality, by basing the thoughts mainly on the ideas of Foucault and Agamben. Using biopolitics as a transversal concept, an attempt will be made to identify the characteristics that bind them with monstrosity and animality in the characters of Montacerdos, mainly with Yococo, main character of the story. Starting with him, questions about the category of monster and its relationship with Homo Sacer will be answered, as well as about the boundaries between human and animal. Finally, an attempt will be made to identify the modalities in which biopower acts in the story and what resistance strategies the characters offer.
