Classical/Shakespeare monologue for Ophelia audition?

I want to audition for Hamlet, namely for the part of Ophelia. I don't know if I'll need a Shakespeare monologue or just a similarly classical monologue. Anyway - suggestions for other plays to look at/specific characters to find monologues from?

thanks!!

You might look at some stuff by the Jailer's daughter in Two Noble Kinsmen. It's not well-known, so it won't bore the auditors, and she kind of goes nuts near the end, so you can show off your ability to play a nutter.

Isabella in Measure for Measure has some good stuff.

Was JUST going to mention that! She totally goes off the deep end a la Ophelia. However, she's kind of the comedy relief. So I'm not sure if those 'hey nonny nonny' monolgoues are inherently funny or sad or if you could play them either way.
