That's all that anyone remembers Ophelia for anyway. My drama teacher asked us about her while we were studying Hamlet and all we could say about her character was that she went crazy, handed out weeds as flowers and then drowned herself in a mad delusion. But we all agreed that she was the most interesting mad character in the whole play. Hamlet was mad as well, but his madness wasn't nearly as interesting (up until he jumped into Ophelia's grave and picked up her dead body anyway, especially since that was just after he had carried on a conversation with poor Yorick's (sp?) skull).
