Ophelia's journey to madness

Okay, about 2:15 into the play, when Ophelia is acting crazy she strips off her outer clothes, and then leaves at 2:19.  Just warning you all.  Gertrude tries to cover her, but she shrugs it off.  I think this could almost be seen as symbolic of the way she has always obeyed her father and let him guide her, and now it has stripped everything from her and ruined her life.
