- Alternate Aesop Interpretation: If you're going to break into someone's house, make sure you know who the homeowners are and don't stay at the scene of the crime. Better yet, don't mess with bears.
- Alternative Character Interpretation:
- Is Goldilocks innocently curious and too naïve to know better than to explore a strange house, a spoiled brat who doesn't care about messing with other people's things, or homeless and hungry and lost in the woods?
- Some people have interpreted the parent bears Sleeping Single as a sign of a struggling relationship. Others point out that the beds being on opposite ends of the firmness spectrum implies that they have different needs in terms of firmness; and in fact it's a sign of a healthy relationship that they're comfortable enough to admit that this arrangement is better for their health.
- Memetic Loser: Goldilocks is known for being a random kid who goes into someone's house, uses and breaks their stuff, and then eats their food. Compared to other fairy-tale protagonists, who are normally sweet and friendly, Goldilocks comes off as a dumb brat. Many Fractured Fairytale takes either poke fun at her or end with her getting mauled and/or eaten by the bears.
- Newer Than They Think: While the folktale goes back at least a couple hundred years, the name "Goldilocks" didn't appear in print until 1904. (In versions published before then, she was "Silverhair" or "Silver-Locks" or "Golden Hair.")
