- Reading
- As you read, pause after the court’s selection process to check how the story presents Esther’s options. You can then decide whether to discuss the threatened danger as it arises.
- Themes
- Concealing identity: Hadassah takes the name Esther and hides that she is Jewish while living in a foreign royal court. The outline establishes concealment as part of the situation, but not whether the story ultimately endorses or questions it.
- Power and threat: Haman is described as a powerful enemy who wants to destroy Esther’s people. The outline identifies the threat but does not show how it is addressed or resolved.
- Worth knowing
- The plot includes a threat to destroy Esther’s people and a process in which young women are selected to meet the king. The detail and intensity of these events are unclear.
