Esther presents a story of a great reversal. Haman, in wickedly trying to exalt himself and destroy the Jews, he, his sons, and all those who share his hatred of God's people the Jews, are brought devastatingly low, and Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews, ironically because of Haman's evil plan, are not only victorious over their enemies, they are exalted and admired throughout the empire. What was meant to be a day of agony turns into a day of gladness. It really is a great reversal.
