This week we will see the villain of the narrative enter the picture as Haman is elevated to the second most powerful position in the kingdom. He will then turn on the Jewish people and manage to convince the king to allow the extermination of the entire Jewish population in the province. Esther will then become involved and will ask the king and Haman to come to a banquet.
