The drought idea stemmed initially from the Greek goddess Demeter whose daughter would visit the underworld for six months out of the year. Their time apart created the fall and winter seasons as the Earth dies, and their return signifies spring and summer as the Earth comes back to life. It's represented here by Ruth's realization about wanting and needing to be with her own family, and that combined presence and power brings color to the sky and rain back to a dry and baked landscape.
