Things aren't always as they seem...

Everyone knows movie/play "The Wizard of Oz" and that all its characters have representation for things throughout the progressive era. But what I just found out was that in the famous kid's television show "Spongebob Squarepants" there are representations as well. Apparently, each character represents one of the 7 deadly sins.
First off, Patrick represents Sloth. Well, duh. Anyone could realize that. Patrick is extremely lazy and never wants to do any work.

Sandy represents Pride. Her love and respect for Texas is how they show that. She is constantly reminiscing about how great Texas was and what not.

Mr. Krabs symbolizes Greed. He is constantly trying to make money and cannot seem to function when he loses money.

Squidward represents Wrath. Squidward NEVER gives Spongebob a break. Everything is Spongebob's fault, he is constantly accusing him of doing wrong.

Gary is supposed to symbolize Gluttony. This was harder to figure out for me, but I can think of two instances where this was shown. One was when he left Spongebob for Patrick, but the reason ends up being because Patrick had a cookie in his back pocket. The other time I can think of is during an episode when Spongebob gives him his food and he ends up eating A LOT of it.

Plankton represents Envy. This is quite obvious. He is constantly searching for the Krabby Patty secret recipe. He is extremely envious of Spongebob and all his success at the Krusty Krab.

And finally, Spongebob symbolizes Lust. This I cannot figure out. The only thing I can think of is his constant need of people. He can't do anything alone and is always searching for someone to be with.

After learning about all this, decided to check if this all made sense and yep, here is someone else suggesting it's true as well. I find this a little bit weird. It just goes to show that not everything is as it seems. But this one just threw me for a loop. They have kids out there watching stuff about the seven deadly sins...crazy. I find it phenomenal that someone could develop a kids show based off something that is not even kid related.

I don't really have a question to conclude this post, but I feel like this entire post should leave you with something to think about.
