Eleanor Rigby

The song 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles explores themes of loneliness and isolation through the characters of Eleanor Rigby and Father McKenzie. Eleanor is depicted as a solitary figure who attends a wedding alone, while Father McKenzie is a priest whose sermons go unheard. The repeated questioning of where all the lonely people come from and belong highlights the pervasive nature of loneliness in society.
