The Intertextual Use of H. P. Lovecraft’s Fiction in Rick and Morty

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the influence of h.p. Lovecraft’s ideas on Rick and Morty, the tv programme from the 2010s that brings forth the devices characteristic for postmodernist works. The main focus is on explaining the postmodernist notions and Lovecraftian elements on which Rick and Morty was based. More precisely, two episodes in total – s02e06: The Ricks Must Be Crazy and s04e06: Never Ricking Morty – are analysed and compared with elements of Lovecraft’s works they draw from. Furthermore, the effect of the time of the show’s creation on the choice of used postmodernist devices and Lovecraftian elements, as well as their purpose, try to be explained. Based on the comparative analysis of two episodes of Rick and Morty and Lovecraft’s works, one concludes that the show successfully incorporated Lovecraftian ideas and worldview into its episodes and transferred them into the 21st century. Because of the current situation in the world marked by a global pandemic, the show relies mainly upon Lovecraft’s cosmic indifference. The show refers to the coronavirus, which could be regarded as a monster of the 21st century that awakened the cosmic fear present in Lovecraft’s works
