It's not that I can't see the appeal of what Jareth proposes, it's just that there comes a point where escapism ceases to have its charm. This is the theme that most strikes me, and it is layered throughout the story. The whole reason Sarah entered Jareth's realm was because she wished for something she thought she wanted, but it turned out to be entirely different than she envisioned.

There's a fine balance to be struck there, I think.
