    the song “Mrs. Robinson” was actually written in reference to Eleanor Roosevelt, who served as First Lady of the United States for a record 12 years (1933-1945). She was First Lady throughout major events such as the Great Depression and World War II - and was highly-regarded for her contributions to the Presidency. In fact the song was originally entitled “Mrs. Roosevelt”, with Simon & Garfunkel changing the name to “Mrs. Robinson” in order to make it applicable to the movie it was featured in, The Graduate (1967). As such, the character featured in the song and the one portrayed in the movie have little, if anything, in common.

      I don't know that the characters of the song and the movie have as little in common as all that. The last verse and chorus speak to an empty suburban existence and a longing for an idealized past. The middle verse is about an unmentionable secret, which could easily be interpreted as her affair with her friends' son. And the first verse implies her first day in some sort of mental hospital, which I infer could've been the result of a nervous breakdown following the events of the film. The song, for me, paints the internal life of Mrs. Robinson, her private thoughts, fears, and regrets which we're not privy to in the film.

    It is amazing that you haven't seen the movie "The Graduate" which made the song famous. It probably will change your interpretation of the song. "Most of all you've got to hide from the kid" has a meaning in the movie, which I suggest that you watch before reading ANYTHING about it. A celebrated line in the song is "Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio...The nation turns it lonely eyes to you...Joltin' Joe has left and gone away." Back in the day, everyone understood that.

    This is from the movie, The Graduate. Mrs. Robinson has an affair with a young student played by Dustin Hoffman. It's a classic. I don't really equate this song to the context of the movie.

    This song was written for the movie “The Graduate”.....the meaning of this song has been highly debated for years. It was said that the song represents the dilemmas society, as a whole, was living in the late 60’s. You guys should watch the movie. Simon and Garfunkel were one of the best selling music groups of the the 60’s. Personally, I thinks that’s debatable.....I believe it had to a lot longer than that. Some of their biggest songs were “The Sound of Slilence” of course “Mrs. Robinson” “ The Boxer” and the one I considered to be one of the greatest songs ever written. “Bridge over Troubled Water.”
