I like the line, "Never knowing's like knowing too much."
So much is going on around Ophelia in the play - the murder of the king, Hamlet's plans for revenge and pretended madness, people like Polonius, Gertrude, etc. trying to determine the state of Hamlet's sanity. Everyone is trying to conceal something, or find something out - it's a chaos of ulterior motives with violent results (like her father's murder). Ophelia seems like she's overwhelmed and confused, and this might be what makes her retreat into insanity and kill herself.
That's my take on it, anyway.
