One guy got so mad that Mordecai wouldn't bow to him that he tried to genocide an entire people group
Haman was Xerxes' top advisor and expected everyone to bow down to him. When Mordecai refused, Haman didn't just go after Mordecai — he convinced the king to sign a decree to wipe out ALL Jews in the entire Persian Empire. He even built gallows to hang Mordecai personally. The audacity was astronomical. But Mordecai told Esther she was put in her position 'for such a time as this' and she had to step up.
Haman gets promoted to the top spot and expects everyone to bow. Mordecai says absolutely not. Haman takes it so personally he decides to wipe out every single Jewish person in the empire. It's giving unhinged villain arc.
EstherIf I Perish I PerishMordecai finds out about the genocide plot and absolutely loses it. Esther has to choose between staying safe in the palace or risking her life for her people. She hits back with one of the hardest lines in the Bible.
