Line #12 PlayingWith/TheOphelia


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''': ???
23	* '''Defied''': "I know you expect me to be all 'look, I don't like shoes or combs!' but I don't actually do that. At all."
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.
