This original study offers, for the first time, an analysis of the
characterization of Esther as she is portrayed in each of the three
primary versions of the book of Esther-the Masoretic text, the
Septuagint text, and the Greek a text. This study of
characterization has implications beyond itself. It permits a
reasssessment of relations between the book of Esther and other
literature of the time, it sheds light on the place of origin of
the ancient versions of Esther, and it raises serious feminist and
canon-critical questions about the role of the book.
