Eleanor Rigby
Looking close at the poem turned hit song, Eleanor Rigby, reveals that it is the analysis of why the lonely people are so lonely. The two characters Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie are connected by the church, in this case it is same church in which Father McKenzie preaches and Eleanor Rigby cleans. “Eleanor Rigby / Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been” (lines 1- 4). It is not apparent immediately but Eleanor is a custodian at the church. When authors John Lennon and Paul McCartney talk about she “Lives in a dream,” (line 5) the responses almost always reflect on Eleanor’s dream to some day marry. The controversial line “Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door.” (line 7) had many outlooks. The “face is probably the face that she puts on to look beautiful, the jar being the makeup jar from which the face comes. She waits each night by her window, waiting for a caller, all prettied up with no one to notice”

New Jersey: Prentice- Hall Inc, 1999. ” (line 7) “to mask the despair inadmissible by English middle class etiquette” (The Eleanor). (lines 15- 17)He “is doing what then would be thought of as women’s work (darning his socks) while she does what men usually did in the 1960s” (Entry Points). It could have been a sarcastic remark made by Father McKenzie or foreshadowing, of the soon to be death of the lonely minister. You would think the two would get together. The magnitude of:Eleanor RigbyDied in a church and was buried along with her name.
