本文藉由拉岡的精神分析理論審視奧菲莉亞與李爾兩人瘋狂的前因後果，拉岡認為瘋狂有兩個前提：一為有缺陷的心理結構，二為觸發瘋狂的事件。藉由利用拉岡的理論，本文目的為證明在檢視奧菲莉亞與李爾的行為時，拉岡對於瘋狂的原因的理論確實可行。
本文分為五個章節，第一章統合過去關於瘋狂的歷史與奧非莉亞及李爾兩人的瘋狂的研究，並闡明本文的目的。第二章整合所需要的理論：拉岡的鏡像階段、精神三層論（想像、象徵與真實）、創傷與精神病的條件。第三章運用第二章內整合的理論檢視奧菲莉亞，並總結出奧菲莉亞瘋狂的原因是擁有與父權體制相關、有缺陷的結構，而最後觸發瘋狂的事件為她與哈姆雷特之間無法圓滿的愛情與她父親的死亡的統合，而癥狀就反映在她無法被人理解的語言與行為之中。第四章審視李爾的瘋狂，證實李爾的心理結構的缺陷與父權結構亦有關聯，但此缺陷與父權之間的關係與奧菲莉亞的個案不相同，而李爾也同樣在語言及行為中流露出瘋狂的癥狀。末章總結奧菲莉亞與李爾兩人的瘋狂符合拉岡的理論，最後指出本文的不足與對未來相關研究的建議。

This thesis examines the causes and effects of the insanity of Ophelia and King Lear based on Lacanian psychoanalysis, in which Lacan asserts there are two preconditions of psychosis—a flawed psychic structure and a final trigger¬. With the application of Lacan’s theories, this thesis aims at proving the theories applicable that there are flawed psychic structures and triggering events as the two preconditions of psychosis when we study the insanity of Ophelia and Lear.
This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter integrates past studies about the history of madness and the insanity of Ophelia and Lear. Then it pinpoints what this thesis aims at—that we can draw theories from Lacanian psychoanalysis to prove that the two characters’ mental structures are flawed and that there are triggering events that finally set off their insanity. Chapter two puts together the theories—which includes the mirror stage, the three orders, trauma and the preconditions of psychosis—in studying the madness of Ophelia and Lear. The following chapter analyses Ophelia’s insanity with the theories elaborated in the second chapter and concludes that her psychical flaw is related to the patriarchal system and the final event is the combination of her unrequited love with Hamlet and Polonius’s death. The symptoms are found in her language and behaviors, which cannot be understood by others because what is in her mad language and behaviors is out of human knowledge constructed by the symbolic order. The fourth chapter deals with Lear's madness and proves Lear's flaw in his mental structure is related to the patriarchal structure in a way different from Ophelia. Lear's language and behaviors, like Ophelia’s, reveal signs of his being out of the symbolic order. The last chapter compares the two cases and concludes that the two cases fit Lacan’s profile of psychosis. It also points out the insufficiency of this thesis and suggestions for future studies.
