Simonette

Simonette is a fictional character who first appeared in the 1967 film "The Graduate." She is the younger sister of Elaine Robinson, the protagonist's love interest. Simonette is portrayed as a somewhat naive and impressionable young woman. In the film, her interactions with Benjamin Braddock, played by Dustin Hoffman, are limited but significant. She is often seen in scenes with her family, highlighting the social dynamics and expectations of the time.

Her character serves as a contrast to her older sister, Elaine, who is more rebellious and independent. Simonette represents a more conventional path, seemingly content with the life her parents have planned for her. Her presence in the film underscores the generational gap and the differing values between the older and younger characters. While not a central figure, Simonette contributes to the overall atmosphere and thematic exploration of the film, particularly concerning youth, societal pressures, and familial relationships. Her role, though small, is memorable for its subtle portrayal of a particular kind of youthful innocence within the context of the era.
