Using narrative devices such as allusions and free associations multivalent expressions and irony the author of Esther wrote a story that is about a Jewish woman Esther during the time of the Persian exile of Yehudites and the Persian king Ahasuerus who was in power at the time At various junctures the author also used secret writing or we could say that he conveys mixed messages one is a surface message but another often conflicting message lies beneath the surface For instance the outer portrayal of the king as one of the main protagonists is an ironic strategy used by the author to highlight the kings impotent indecisive antihero status He may wield authorityas symbolized by his twicedelegated signet ringbut he remains powerless Among all the concealments in the story the concealment of God stands out as the most prominent and influential exampleA growing number of scholars regard the book of Esther as a comic diversion the function and intention of which are to entertain the reader However Grossman is more convinced by Mikhail Bakhtins approach and he labels his application of this approach to the reading of Esther as theological carnivalesque Bakhtin viewed the carnival or the carnivalesque genre as a challenge by the masses to the governing establishment and to accepted social conventions He described the carnival as an eruption of everpresent but suppressed popular sentiments The connection between the story of Esther and Bakhtins characterization of the carnivalesque in narrative is evident especially in the book of Esthers use of the motifs of reversal and transformation For example the young girl Esther is transformed from an exiled Jewess into a queen in one of the turnabouts that characterize the narrative Many more examples are provided in this analysis of one of the Bibles most fascinating books
