Week 4D - Song quote-response

"Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been,
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing a face that she keeps by the door
Who is it for?"
(Lennon,McCartney pg. 553)

This part of the song tells me what Eleanor Rigby is like, even if it was more elaborate or longer I don't think I could get a better sense of what she feels like as a woman.
She puts her face on and waits ready for her wedding, which I am given the impression will never happen just by the tone of this verse.
I wonder if the question "Who is it for?' is asking a larger question. Who is she doing the waiting for? Herself? Her parents? Society? Religion? Her imagined children? I think it's for her own happiness.
