If you think Ruth is fluffy you need to read or re-read it

* BreatherEpisode: In the Christian Old Testament, the Book of Ruth, a short fluffy love story, is tucked in between the Literature/BookOfJudges and Literature/BooksOfSamuel, both rather lengthy tales detailing the violent wars between Israel and its enemies and the slow descent into wickedness of the Israelites. Not so in the Jewish Tanakh, however, as Ruth is in a different section of the Bible alongside other literary books, between the Literature/SongOfSongs and the [[Literature/BookOfJeremiah Book of Lamentations]].

Naomi is returning to her homeland, although it's unclear whether she has any family left or would be welcome in her community. Although there were no legal statutes determining citizenship, someone without family members was essentially stateless.

* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Ruth is widowed, destitute, and living with her mother-in-law Naomi. She goes out to glean scraps of grain from a nearby farm, just so they have enough food to barely survive, and catches the eye of the farm's owner Boaz. Naomi encourages her to go for it and gives her some advice on how to seal the deal, as Boaz is a wealthy guy and marrying him will ensure they're both cared for. (It helps that he was a close relative of Ruth's late husband, and was thus obligated to marry her under the laws at the time.)
* ShiksaGoddess: Ruth, the Moabite daughter-in-law of the Jewish widow Naomi, who later on marries Naomi's kinsman Boaz. Her marriage to Boaz is a Subversion, though, as it's made clear she was a Jewish convert before she married him.
