In the background, Benjamin is seen about to pound on the glass after seeing Elaine marry the other guy. Benjamin is in the very middle of the shot, while Mrs. Robinson is seen in the right third of the shot. He is much smaller in size comparison to Mrs. Robinson, and is also higher up in the shot compared to her. He is also wearing all white, while Mrs. Robinson is in all black... at her daughter's wedding. I believe that this in itself is telling more about the story than is seen at first glance. Because he seems so far away, it gives the feeling that their is no hope for him at all, but it doesn't seem that Mrs. Robinson is very happy either, considering she's in all black, but that's just my opinion.
