The original version of the tale tells of an impudent old woman who enters the forest home of three anthropomorphic <a href="/wiki/Bachelor" title="Bachelor">bachelor</a> <a href="/wiki/Bear" title="Bear">bears</a> while they are away. She eats some of their <a href="/wiki/Porridge" title="Porridge">porridge</a>, sits down on one of their chairs, breaks it, and sleeps in one of their beds. When the bears return and discover her, she wakes up, jumps out of the window, and is never seen again. The second version replaces the old woman with a young, naive, blonde-haired girl named Goldilocks, and the third and by far best-known version replaces the bachelor trio with a family of three. The story has elicited various interpretations and has been adapted to film, opera, and other media. "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is one of the most popular fairy tales in the English language.<sup id="cite_ref-Elms257_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Elms257-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot_summary">Plot summary</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot summary"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg/220px-The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="157" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg/330px-The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg/440px-The_story_of_the_three_bears_1839_pg_21.jpg 2x" data-file-width="937" data-file-height="668" /></a><figcaption>Illustration in "The Story of the Three Bears" second edition, 1839, published by W.

Southey describes them as good-natured, trusting, harmless, clean, and <a href="/wiki/Hospitality" title="Hospitality">hospitable</a>. Each bear has his own bowl of <a href="/wiki/Porridge" title="Porridge">porridge</a>, his own chair, and his own bed. One day, while their hot porridge is cooling, they wander through the woods. An old woman—described throughout the story as insolent, mean, swearing, ugly, dirty, and a <a href="/wiki/Vagrancy" title="Vagrancy">vagabond</a> who belongs in a <a href="/wiki/Reformatory" title="Reformatory">reformatory</a>—discovers the bears' home. She looks through the window and keyhole, opens the <a href="/wiki/Latch" title="Latch">latch</a>, and, after ensuring that no one is home, enters. The old woman tries the porridge of the big bear, which is too hot for her; then she tries the porridge of the middle bear, which is too cold; finally, she eats the porridge of the smallest bear. Next, she sits down in the chair of the big bear, which is too hard for her, and then in the chair of the middle bear, which is too soft. When she sits in the chair of the small bear, it breaks as a result. Continuing her exploration of the house, she finds the bears' beds. After trying the big bear's bed and the middle bear's bed and finding them unsuitable, she goes to sleep in the smallest bear's bed. When the bears return home, the story reaches its climax. One after another, they discover that someone has eaten their porridge, sat in their chairs, and lain in their beds. The smallest bear finds the old woman in his bed and exclaims, "Someone has lain down in my little bed—and there she is still!" Startled, the old woman jumps out of the window, runs away, and is never seen again. </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Literary_elements">Literary elements</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Literary elements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The story makes extensive use of the literary <a href="/wiki/Rule_of_three_(writing)" title="Rule of three (writing)">rule of three</a>, featuring three chairs, three bowls of porridge, three beds, and the three title characters who live in the house. There are also three sequences of the bears discovering in turn that someone has been eating from their porridge, sitting in their chairs, and finally, lying in their beds, at which point the climax of Goldilocks being discovered occurs. This follows three earlier sequences of Goldilocks trying the bowls of porridge, chairs, and beds successively, each time finding the third "just right". Author <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Booker" title="Christopher Booker">Christopher Booker</a> characterises this as the "dialectical three" where "the first is wrong in one way, the second in another or opposite way, and only the third, in the middle, is just right". Booker continues: "This idea that the way forward lies in finding an exact middle path between opposites is of extraordinary importance in storytelling".<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>This concept has spread across many other disciplines, particularly developmental psychology, biology, economics, Buddhism, and engineering where it is called the "<a href="/wiki/Goldilocks_principle" title="Goldilocks principle">Goldilocks principle</a>".<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In planetary astronomy, a planet orbiting its sun at just the right distance for liquid water to exist on its surface, neither too hot nor too cold, is referred to as being in the "<a href="/wiki/Circumstellar_habitable_zone" class="mw-redirect" title="Circumstellar habitable zone">Goldilocks Zone</a>".

According to Bettelheim, the story fails to encourage children to truly work through the challenges of growing up, one at a time. It does not end, as a fairy tale should, with the promise of future happiness for those who successfully navigate their Oedipal phase in childhood. He argues that the story prevents the child reader from gaining <a href="/wiki/Emotional_maturity" class="mw-redirect" title="Emotional maturity">emotional maturity</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Maria_Tatar" title="Maria Tatar">Maria Tatar</a> critiques Bettelheim's interpretation, suggesting that his analysis may overly instrumentalize fairy tales, turning them into vehicles for messages and behavioral models for children. While the story might not resolve Oedipal issues or sibling rivalry in the way Bettelheim believes <i><a href="/wiki/Cinderella" title="Cinderella">Cinderella</a></i> does, it emphasizes the importance of respecting others' property and the consequences of "trying out" things that don't belong to you.<sup id="cite_ref-Maria_Tatar2_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Maria_Tatar2-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the <i>Handbook of Psychobiography</i>, Alan C. Elms offers a different perspective, rejecting Bettelheim's view of the story as a tale of post-Oedipal ego development. Instead, he interprets it through the <a href="/wiki/Freudian" class="mw-redirect" title="Freudian">Freudian concept</a> of pre-Oedipal anality.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Elms argues that Bettelheim may have overlooked the themes in the story, which could be beneficial for a child's personality development. He believes that the story is mainly aimed at preschool children, who are learning about cleanliness, maintaining order in their environment, and dealing with disruptions to that order. Based on his own experiences and observations, Elms suggests that children are more likely to identify with the clean, orderly bear protagonists rather than with the rebellious, unruly human antagonist. He traces the theme of anality in The Story of the Three Bears back to Robert Southey's meticulous, cleanliness-obsessed aunt, who raised him and passed on her obsession in a milder form.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_other_media">In other media</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: In other media"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Film_and_television">Film and television</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Goldilocks_and_the_Three_Bears&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Film and television"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_(division)" title="Walt Disney Studios (division)">Walt Disney</a> released an <a href="/wiki/Animation" title="Animation">animated film</a> adaptation of "Goldilocks" in 1922, followed by another adaptation in 1939, co-produced with <a href="/wiki/MGM" class="mw-redirect" title="MGM">MGM</a>.
