Transcription: Yet in those days, a queen did not easily stand up to her husband, especially a husband like Exerxes, who had already summarily dismissed one queen for insubordination. By intervening for the sake of her race, Esther might be putting her own life in jeopardy. This portion of the book spells out Esther's dilemma and tells the decision she finally reached. The rest of the book records a series of twists of plot. The Jews are even honored, and the original conspirator is hanged in their place.
