2. SLOTH - Patrick • Sloth is the sin of laziness, or unwillingness to act. • Patrick lays under a rock all the time and doesn’t really do anything. • In fact in the episode “Big Pink Loser” he got an award for doing nothing the longest.
3. WRATH - Squidward • Wrath involves feelings of hatred and anger. • Squidward hates his life, usually hates SpongeBob, and is pretty much angry most of the time.
4. GREED – Mr. Krabs • Mr. Krabs is greedy and desires money. • He actually sang about the power of greed in “Selling Out”.
5. ENVY - Plankton • Plankton is envious of Mr. Krabs because • The Krusty Krab is a success while The Chum Bucket is a failure. • His envy drives him to try to steal the Krabby Patty secret formula.
6. GLUTTONY - Gary • Gary even ran away that time when SpongeBob forgot to feed him. • Gluttony usually refers to the overindulgence of food so this one fits him pretty well.
