Genre based reading is a necessary basis for (every) starting interpretation of fairy tales. It is also a strong distractor from noticing the “cracks” in the text, which are labelled as problem-based places in teaching interpretation. By using the appropriate aspects of theories of interpretation, (de)construction, phenomenology, and over-interpretation) we observe and analyse such places in text. The goal of this paper is to create the frame for the new (problem-based) way to read fairy tales, to separate the levels of interpretation, and to illuminate the systematic development path of the young reader (in literature teaching).
