In the Graduate, none of the older adult characters are referred to by their first names, only the younger ones (Benjamin Braddock, Elaine Robinson and Carl Smith). This was upposed to accentuate the age difference between the generations.

In the film 'The Graduate' Dustin Hoffman plays Benjamin Braddock, at a loose end after college, is seduced by a woman twice his age: cold-as-ice friend of the family Mrs. Robinson (played by Anne Bancroft). So its understandable that Benjamin's dream girl (played by Katherine Ross) is aghast when she finds out he's been sleeping with... her mother.
"Mrs. Robinson" is a song written by Paul Simon and first performed by Simon and Garfunkel. When released as a single, it hit number one in the U.S., their second hit after "The Sound of Silence". An early version of the song appeared in the motion picture The Graduate (1967) and its subsequent soundtrack, while the complete song debuted on their album Bookends(1968). The song earned the duo a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1969.The Beatles did record their cover of Mrs Robinson after Simon and Garfunkel in the Beatles album Volume 1.

Simon and Garfunkel
From the Simon & Garfunkel Mrs. Robinson wiki page:"In the film The Graduate, listless recent college graduate Benjamin Braddock has an affair with an older married woman, Mrs. Robinson. The song as it appears in the film is different from the familiar hit single version, as only the chorus of the song appears multiple times throughout the second half of the film. It was only later on that Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel re-recorded the song by employing additional lyrics to form the hit single."
The song "Mrs. Robinson" was written by Paul Simon and performed by Simon and Garfunkel. It was released in April 1968 and in 1967 appeared on the soundtrack for The Graduate.
