===Personality===
Jareth is portrayed as charismatic, selfish, and manipulative. At the start of the film, he delights in tormenting Sarah and demonstrating his powers to her. He also displays anxiety when Sarah approaches the Labyrinth, becoming this close to reaching the goal of defeating him. He is also very cruel, especially towards Hoggle, continuously belittling him and forcing the dwarf to be bended to his will.
Jareth accepts defeat gracefully when Sarah beats him in his own game. Instead of coming after her for malice, he just simply flies away.
