  • Jareth el rey de los duendes (Jareth the Goblin King) es un personaje ficticio y el principal antagonista de la película de fantasía de 1986 Labyrinth. Interpretado por David Bowie, Jareth es el poderoso y enigmático rey de los duendes a quienes la protagonista Sarah Williams desea que se lleven a su hermanito Toby. Jareth le da a Sarah trece horas para recuperar al bebé de su castillo en el centro de un enorme laberinto, tiempo durante el cual pone obstáculos en su camino y trata de alejarla de su búsqueda. El personaje fue creado por el director Jim Henson y el escritor Dennis Lee, y diseñado por Brian Froud. Varios músicos contemporáneos fueron inicialmente considerados para el papel además de Bowie, incluidos Sting, Michael Jackson y Prince. Henson se acercó a Bowie por primera vez en 1983 para ofrecerle el papel, y el personaje entonces se desarrolló pensando en Bowie, quien también fue contratado para escribir las canciones de Labyrinth, interpretando tres en la película como Jareth. Conceptualizado como la fantasía interna de Sarah, el diseño del personaje de Jareth fue influenciado por los héroes románticos pero hoscos Heathcliff de Cumbres Borrascosas y Rochester de Jane Eyre, así como por la Pimpinela Escarlata, los caballeros medievales, los príncipes de los cuentos de hadas de los hermanos Grimm, los bailarines de ballet, las estrellas de rock contemporáneas y los rockers como Johnny Strabler de The Wild One. La recepción del personaje ha sido en general positiva, y los críticos elogiaron el magnetismo y el vestuario de Jareth. La actuación de Bowie como Jareth, aunque alternativamente elogiada y ridiculizada por los críticos contemporáneos, se ha convertido desde entonces en una de sus apariciones cinematográficas más célebres.

  • Jareth the Goblin King is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth. Portrayed by David Bowie, Jareth is the powerful and enigmatic king of the goblins to whom protagonist Sarah Williams wishes away her baby brother Toby. Jareth gives Sarah thirteen hours to retrieve the baby from his castle at the centre of an enormous labyrinth, during which time he sets obstacles in her path and tries to entice her away from her quest. The character was created by director Jim Henson and writer Dennis Lee, and designed by Brian Froud. Several contemporary musicians were initially considered for the role besides Bowie, including Sting, Michael Jackson and Prince. Henson first approached Bowie in 1983 to offer him the part, and the character was developed with Bowie in mind—who was also hired to write the songs for Labyrinth, performing three in the film as Jareth. Conceptualised as the inner fantasy of Sarah, Jareth's character design was influenced by Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights and Rochester from Jane Eyre, as well as the Scarlet Pimpernel, medieval knights, Grimm's Fairy Tales, ballet dancers, contemporary rock stars, and "leather boys" such as Johnny Strabler from The Wild One. Reception to the character has been generally positive, with critics praising Jareth's magnetism and costuming. Bowie's performance as Jareth, while alternately lauded and derided by contemporary critics, has since become one of his most celebrated film appearances. (en)

  • "I thought David Bowie was exceptionally clever to not bring a truly evil and angry and fiendish tone to his role as the villain. He was so deft at being devilish more than evil, dangerous maybe, but not a character fraught only with ill-will." (en)
  • "[David Bowie] played this wonderful role where he's kind of making fun of the personality of a rock star. He plays this overly flamboyant, spoiled rotten, self-centered King of the Goblins. He had a wonderful sense of humor ... I think he knew he was kind of making fun of himself, in a fun way." (en)
