Can you think of any more tragic character them him?

Aside from the rules of the show dictating that he remain in the show, he could just leave the place and not be next to Spongebob and his antics.

If a character can willingly get out of their situation with minimal input, I don't see anything tragic about it. The forces keeping him there are meta.

Tom just wants to live a peaceful life and this fucking mouse squatted and robs from the home he is trained to protect.

Jerry is like the poster child for "cute for the sake of cute with no redeeming qualities". No wonder the show's so popular in Japan.

Getting your life fucked up because of your own bad choices or flaws is the classic definition of tragedy. Do you think Macbeth would have been as tragic if the witches had just killed him with a fireball?

You're a son of a bitch, Spike. You think you can just beat me over the head with a baseball bat and I'll leave the mouse alone, well you're wrong. Maybe it's the multiple concussions, but I did nothing to deserve a life of misery. Why couldn't we all just nap and mind eachother's business? Fucking mouse apologist. I now have your boy with a loaded whisky and a bottle of revolver in my hand. No more chasing, no more games, I want out of this mouse trap. It didn't have to turn out this way. Don't you believe it.

If a cat tried to eat me on an hourly basis then yes I'd make his life a little hell.

He literally tried that when he moved to Tentacle Acres.

Even if he didn't feel an emptiness in his life without their stupidity, Patrick and Spongebob still somehow got into the community and they would have eventually found him and continued to fucking ruin his life.

He's not tragic though, he's just grumpy around everyone, and denies the fact that he does appreciate spongebob's antics on a subconscious level.

Remember that commune he went to, full of people like him, and he ended up hating it due to the routine? Or the time he got blasted into the future, and ends up missing spongebob? Or the time he pushed a pizza through a guy's face for him?

He's tragic in the sense he didn't achieve his big dreams initially; but that's changed on multiple times, especially the marching band episode where the entire town learnt to play so he could give Squilliam the middle finger.

He had it coming.
