The meaning of the names of the characters in Ruth are an interesting insight into the story. ‘My Hod is King’ marries ‘Pleasyre’ and two sons, sickness and pining away’ are born to the union. These boys marry ‘Looking back’ and ‘Stweadfast’, and when the husband of ‘Pleasure’ and her two sons die, she sets out to where there is grace, accompanied by the two daughters in law, the ‘Looking back’ pne leaves to go back to her people, but ‘Steadfast’ stays with Naomi and eventually marries ‘The mighty man of Wealth’ and to their house is added ‘Worship’.
