ACT4, SCENE5
Ophelia's dialogue does things. It leads to her death, the fight between Laertes and Hamlet and the duel which leads to death. In her dialogue she spouts crazy things because of things mentioned in "Argument Between H&O" and knowing that her lover murdered her father and seeing his gruesome body being carried out of its hiding place. Her brother comes to see her and their conversation is the same at the conversation between Polonius and Hamlet. The difference between Ophelia's and Hamlet's craziness is that hers is real and his is mostly faked.
A smart person would realize that she needs to be watched. Which is not what happened and is why she drowned. The fight between Laertes and Hamlet happened because they both love her which also leads to the duel.
I believe that all of us have a bit of craziness in us. The difference between Ophelia and the rest of us is that she didn't have the strength to process and deal with it as we do.
