Why is ophelia mad in hamlet?
The reason for Ophelia's madness, which is introduced in Act 4 Scene 5, is never directly stated in Hamlet. Probably causes include being instructed by her father and brother to stop seeing Hamlet, with whom she had been romantically involved. After breaking up with him, she watches him apparently go mad, and bears the brunt of one of his angry outbursts. Shortly after, her father Polonius is murdered by Hamlet himself, leaving her with no family in the area, as her brother Laertes is at school in France. The combination of these stressful and painful situations most likely leads Ophelia into madness. Ophelia's madness comes from not only being publicly humiliated by Hamlet but also hearing about how Hamlet murdered her father.

What were the events in the play hamlet?
Hamlet's friends get him to watch out for his father's ghost, who he sees. The ghost tells him that he was murdered by Hamlet's uncle who has since married his former sister-in-law and become king. While Hamlet is deciding what to do, he runs into a travelling acting company, who he gets to put on a play which looks a lot like the murder the ghost describes. The King's reaction tells Hamlet that the ghost was telling the truth and he goes off to kill the King. He finds him, but does not want to kill him while he is praying. Instead he verbally abuses his mother and, hearing a noise in the curtains, kills who is behind it. Unfortunately it is not the king, but the king's advisor who also happens to be the father of Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. The king sends Hamlet away to England, and while he is gone, Ophelia goes crazy and dies, and her brother Laertes vows revenge on Hamlet. A fencing match is arranged at which Laertes is to murder Hamlet, but it does not turn out well: Hamlet is fatally poisoned all right, but he kills Laertes and the king while his mother dies after drinking a poisoned drink meant for Hamlet. At the end of the play the stage is covered in corpses.

"Brevity is the soul of wit" is a line from Hamlet, Act 2. It is said by Polonius, and it is ironic because although Polonius is saying that brevity is a virtue, it appears to be a virtue he does not posess. He is incapable of brevity, which by his maxim means he has very little wit.
