1 | '''Basic Trope''': An insane, but beautiful, young woman. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Alice is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychosis psychotic]] but undiagnosed, has long MessyHair, is barefoot, and is quite pretty. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Alice is an irresistible MsFanservice, despite being AxCrazy, sleeping in a RoomFullOfCrazy, [[HearingVoices and not having a good relationship with the voices in her head.]] |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': |
5 | ** HystericalWoman |
6 | ** Alice isn't crazy, she's just eccentric. |
7 | * '''Justified''': Alice enjoys playing up her condition for all the classical references it's worth. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': Alice is UglyCute or HollywoodHomely, but is also the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] |
9 | * '''Gender Inverted''': A crazy, [[{{Bishonen}} pretty young man.]] |
10 | * '''Subverted''': |
11 | ** We hear Alice acts like an Ophelia. But when we see her, her condition is portrayed realistically. |
12 | ** That is not who Alice actually is, she's just role-playing. |
13 | * '''Doubly Subverted''': |
14 | ** That was Claire. When we see Alice she acts like an Ophelia. |
15 | ** But then it turns out she is crazy after all... |
16 | * '''Parodied''': Alice's condition is PlayedForLaughs, as she exhibits every madness {{trope}} in the book. |
17 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Alice goes from periods of almost normalcy to The Ophelia to {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, and no one knows what side will surface. |
18 | * '''Averted''': Alice's condition is portrayed realistically. |
19 | * '''Enforced''': "Of course we'll have a mad scene!" |
20 | * '''Lampshaded''': "This is the scene where I babble something about [[GeniusBonus rue]] and drown myself, isn't it?" |
21 | * '''Invoked''': "I know! I'll channel [[Theatre/{{Hamlet}} Ophelia]] till he leaves me alone." |
22 | * '''Exploited''': ??? |

24 | * '''Discussed''': |
25 | ** "Oh, that chick's named Ophelia. Wait for it...Yup, there goes her sanity." |
26 | ** Or... |
27 | -->'''Bob''': Wait, you never told me your first name is "Ophelia"! |
28 | -->'''Alice''': Which is why I go by my middle name, "Alice". People think of the name "Ophelia" and they're immediately like "OhCrap, we better get out of here before she goes crazy on us!" |
29 | * '''Conversed''': "Why do girls who go mad always seem to have turned into Ophelia?" |
30 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
31 | ** Alice falls more and more into madness, and it is thoroughly unromantic. [[ThereAreNoTherapists No one helps her]], and she is eventually DrivenToSuicide, or at least an attempt. |
32 | ** Alice's insanity is played realistically and horrifically as the debilitating condition it is. |
33 | * '''Reconstructed''': Before Alice got help, she was a mess. It's only gotten a little better since then, and she still has to contend with her demons, but she's trying. |
34 | * '''Implied''': Alice is an attractive CloudCuckoolander. There is an occasional suggestion there's an unhappy reason for it. |
