The dream-world consists of a lavish ball, where Jareth watches Sarah from the crowd. Jareth is seen sitting in the window of his throne room, casting crystals out into the sky that travels towards Sarah and draw her into a dream-world. Later, when Hoggle is about the drop the peach into the bog, Jareth's disembodied voice tells him "I wouldn't do that if I were you" and Hoggle returns the peach to his pocket.Īfter Sarah eats the peach, she begins to forget why she was in the Labyrinth. He soon fulfils this promise, causing a trap door that leads to The Bog of Eternal Stench to open beneath both Sarah and Hoggle when Sarah kisses Hoggle in gratitude for him having saved her. In parting, he tells Hoggle he will make him 'Prince of the Land of Stench' should Sarah should ever kiss him.
When asked if the peach will harm Sarah, Jareth taunts Hoggle and ridicules the idea that Sarah could consider "a repulsive little scab" such as him a friend. Jareth's next significant appearance is an encounter with Hoggle, where he gives a peach to Hoggle that he orders him to give to Sarah. Her flippant response causes him to lose his patience with her, takes some of her time to save Toby away, and he sends the Cleaners after both Sarah and Hoggle as punishment. Quickly losing interest in Hoggle, Jareth approaches Sarah and asks for her opinion on his Labyrinth. He does away with his disguise as soon as they appear, asking Hoggle to explain why he appears to be helping Sarah instead of taking her back to the start of the Labyrinth as he was ordered to. He declares that he plans to send Hoggle to fetch her and take her back to the start of the Labyrinth, and laughs at the thought of hindering her progress.ĭisguising himself as a blind, shabby beggar, Jareth waits for Sarah and Hoggle in the passage leading away from the Oubliette, attracting their attention with one of his crystals. When Sarah falls into the Oubliette, Jareth is perturbed by the speed of her progress through the Labyrinth. He rises from his throne and begins to interact with his subjects through the song Magic Dance, which he uses to express his delight at having Toby in his possession. He is next seen in his castle, surrounded by his drunk, clumsy goblin subjects.
He then vanishes, leaving Sarah alone on the hill-top to start her journey. Jareth transports both himself and Sarah to a hill overlooking his Labyrinth and tells her she has thirteen hours to save Toby. Jareth attempts to make Sarah give up her brother by offering her a crystal that will reveal her dreams, only for her to refuse.
Jareth first appears in the film in his human form when he is summoned by Sarah to take her infant brother Toby away from her.
