"Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been
lives in a dream"
This excerpt shows how Rigby wishes she could be wedded and be happy, however as a nun she would be unable to.
"Eleanor Rigby died in the church...nobody came...no one was saved"
This shows how Rigby was never able to be married and how no one cared about her.

1. Who is Eleanor Rigby waiting for?
2. What is the "face that she keeps in a jar by the door"?
3. Why does Father McKenzie write a sermon even though no one will hear it?
4. Why did Fr. McKenzie wipe the dirt off his hands? What does it mean?
