7 deadly sins and Spongebob Squarepants?




Snuggly Du


Ok, so I was watching Spongebob the other day with my cousin (he's 8), and a strange thought struck me. I felt like after rewatching the show for the first time in years, I began to think that there might be a connection between each character and the 7 deadly sins.

Squidward = Wrath
Gary = Gluttony
Mr. Krabs = Greed
Plankton = Envy
Pearl = Lust
Patrick = Sloth
Larry the lobster = Pride

and Spnogebob is just a neutral character that "adventures" and interact with each "sin" to show the viewers (children) how ridiculous each sin is by exaggerating and satirizing it.

Am I overanalyzing the cartoon?
Gary is gluttony because he eats all the time? He eats the green things, and also snail food. I don't know.



Answer
Don't know if that was the writer's intention, but it sounds good. A lot of the characters do seem to be built around a specific trait, and Spongebob is just the good-natured one that tries to keep it moving & live the best way he can.
