He refuses to believe that he has lost his love. Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in a strange world filled with monsters, Jareth goes mad. In the time it took for Jareth to build his kingdom, which he may have thought was little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.
Many stories of the fairy world tell us that time moves differently there than in our world (Rip Van Winkle for one). He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant. In this new world Jareth built a palace for his Sarah. In a fit of rage Jareth kidnapped this other child and spirited it away to the fairy world. Sarah’s father and step-mother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted her to keep her, as a servant, to care for their other child. In a time long long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. So why is David Bowie kidnapping a child from an underage Jennifer Connelley? My sister asked if the events of “The Labyrinth” are meant to be Sarah dreaming, or are they real? Although my primary reaction was that she shouldn’t put that much thought into any children’s movie (or any instance of David Bowie in tight pants), I’d like to take this opportunity to put so much thought into this children’s movie, that it’ll blow your mind.
