Another Theory About Sarah and Jareth 

The reason Jareth responds to Sarah's "It's not fair!" remark the way he does ("You say that so often I wonder what your basis of comparison is") is because she does say it on multiple occasions throughout the movie, so I don't think that works as evidence for Sarah being forced to relive her supposed failure at the labyrinth over and over again. That seemed to be what your theory about Sarah not really leaving the labyrinth hinged on. As for Jareth being attracted to Sarah due to a previous romance with a woman bearing similar features, I don't think the movie was trying to suggest that with the pictures of the couple on Sarah's mirror and in the scrapbook. In the beginning of the film, as the camera pans over Sarah's room, we see various objects that will later make an appearance in the labyrinth, such as the MC Escher picture of the stairs on her wall. We also see objects that foreshadow the appearance of characters in the labyrinth, such as the aforementioned pictures of Sarah's mother and a man resembling Jereth. I think this just points to Sarah's environment being the basis for how the labyrinth and its inhabitants took form, as in a lot of what Sarah sees in the labyrinth is taken straight from her subconscious. After all, this is Sarah's story, not Jareth's.

Some believe that Jareth and The Goblin City was a manifestation of Sarah's imagination based on a book that she emmersed herself in called The Labrynth... Not only was Jareth .. the King of this mythical place but he could also take different forms ( The Owl , specifically) to enter reality... which is how he discovered Sarah ... I believe during his trips to reality is when he became infatuated with her and her Love for the story ... that he was willing to do anything to please her ... even kidnapping her little brother because that is what she asked for out of anger ... In pleasing her .. he thought that he could gain her love , respect an alliance. .. when this didn't happen .. he became cruel and spiteful and made it difficult for her on her quest to retrieve Toby ... His cruelty wasn't Evil .. but based on Heartbreak , I believe ... even after she rescued Toby and went home , Jareth continued to watch over her ... I believe he met his match in her in some way , as far as challenge , not to become enemies or seek revenge ..but a mutual guardedness based on respect and duty .

What I'm wondering about is how Jareth knew Sarah from the git go because at the very beginning of the movie, even before Sarah asked the King to take her brother the owl was already spying on Sarah. At the beginning of the movie, we have David Bowie posed with her mother like you pointed out in your video. I now start to believe that her mother left her husband for Jareth, then for whatever reason Jareth lost her mother as well - just like her father - so that's why he is pursuing Sarah now. I never had a movie making me wonder like this. I must say that Bowie in Jareth's role was not only perfect but soooo handsome!

Honestly these two would make a great couple ❤

been searching this movie ttile for decades thanks to NETFLIX may fav. childhood movie

Tremenda química ⚛️ entre ellos dos ❤

Interesting theory lol I wish there was more videos about their relationship but I do see blogs about their relationship I believe is that he fell in love with her when he first saw her when she was acting in the park in the beginning of the movie that just my theory

I need another example or two to get on board with this theory, but it's definitely interesting! And I think I've seen the video you're talking about. It's always good practice to cite your sources, so if you can find it again, maybe share the link? YAY DISCOURSE

I like this video. Good work. 👍

well there is some wrong arguments, if you read the comics you can see that jareth isn0t a fae. Also about the past romance there is some of true

-_- Why don't people understand context clues... Sarah fell asleep and was dreaming about her play that she was practicing at the beginning of the movie... That's why all of the elements in her dream are parts of her room.

@1:13 I remember seeing a video of this theory by a popular creator. I thought it was matpat but he doesn't have any labyrinth stuff. If anyone knows what creator it was plz help. Thnx ☺️

A few years later....
