El presente artículo es un análisis comparativo entres dos obras de Julio Cortázar para mostrar cómo ciertos tópicos representativos de su obra —lo fantástico, el confinamiento, lo monstruoso, la huida o el Doppelgänger— ya están presentes desde sus textos primigenios, como en el libro de cuentos Bestiario o en la novela El examen. Además, veremos cómo la conjunción de estos tópicos y el contexto opresivo en que se desarrollan sus historias, no solo las hermana, sino que las insertan dentro de la distopía, corriente literaria y crítica de la modernidad, en boga a mediados del siglo XX.
