one of my friends has a great reading of Labyrinth, contrasting it with Company of Wolves and other girls-on-the-cusp literature; about how Labyrinth is really about defending Sarah's right to be and stay a little girl. About how it's ok to crush on adult pop stars but it is NOT ok for them to get in your space. A lot of this media does a narrative where sexual freedom makes the protagonist grown up and free, but Labyrinth goes a different route and makes a defense of Sarah's continuing to be a kid her freedom. I liked that reading a lot!
