In Christian traditions, ''Ruth'' is a short [[Interquel]] between [[~~Book of Judges (Literature)\|~~Book of Judges]] and the [[~~Books of Samuel (Literature)\|~~Books of Samuel]],. The story ~~detailing~~details how Ruth, a Moabite widow, finds a new husband. Read it [[The Bible/Source/Ruth\|here]]. ---- {{tropelist\|pre=The}} ~~=== Tropes ===~~ * [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: It's only at the end of her story dothat we find out Ruth's significance; she's David's great-grandmother. * [[Determined Widow]]~~: See quote~~ * [[Hope Spot]]: In Judges. * [[May-December Romance]]: Boaz was much older than Ruth, and says as much. This does not deter her. * [[Out-of-Genre Experience]]: The Book of Ruth, which reads like a domestic drama, is set in the action-packed [[Crapsack World]] times of Judges. * [[Plucky Girl]]: Ruth ~~yet again~~. * [[Ready for Lovemaking]]: After Boaz had fallen asleep on a grain heap, Ruth uncovered his feet, lay down, and waited for him to wake up with cold feet. This being ancient Israel though, consummation did have to wait until after the wedding. ** With Hebrew being a bit sexually euphemistic, the part about "feet" may, in fact, be referring to his genitals. While Boaz surely did hold off on the consummation, having his whole lower half exposed and then awakening to find a pretty lady at the foot of his bed would have made the none-too-subtle point she was making ~~well~~ nigh -impossible to miss. * [[Undying Loyalty]]: To her mother-in-law, Naomi. * [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Classic Literature~~{{PAGENAME}}]] ▲[[Category:Book of Ruth]] [[Category:Literature]] [[Category:Literature of the 6th century BCE]] [[Category:Books of the Bible]] [[Category:Hebrew Literature]]
