Throughout the movie Ben and Mrs. Robinson meet at The Taft hotel daily to have an affair. That is until Ben is forced to take Elaine Robinson on a date, and immediately fell in love. Ben confides in Elaine that her mother is the one he is having an affair with. To no surprise Elaine throws Ben out. When Ben is leaving Mrs. Robinson is standing soak and wet against a white wall in the corner looking defeated and scared. The angle of the camera makes it seems as if she is innocent. When Elaine went back to Berkley, Ben decided after much thought that he was going to marry her. He drove to Berkley and sat in the common ground of the school. In this particular section of the movie motif was used. Ben repeated the same action for days of going to school, watching Elaine and going home. Finally after confronting her on the busy he repeatedly asks her to marry him until he purchased ring. The same a day Mr. Robinson was sitting in Ben room waiting for him, little did Ben realize that Elaine was rushed off in the middle of the night to marry Carl Smith. This movie seemed to have a unified plot, with its continuous strands of event that all relate. The movie starts with infidelity, then moves into deceit, and end with love of course. Love conquers all. The acting was definitely something I am not used to seeing, seemed bland and dis interesting, but that contributed to the character.
