I am wondering. What could the fiction ending be? Why does Amother feel she can not print ending online? Why must each Imamother receive ending only in the form of a personal message.

Also , regarding Esther's ending according to the megillah - Is there more than one way to look at it ?

Is the only accepted answer "unclean" ? I wonder about this as well. Could there be a deeper answer?

An other point. Am I the only one who recognizes the beauty of the original story as written in the megillah?

What is the need for a retelling of an original great story. Especially if the "new" ending can not be printed online.

Enquiring person wishes to know . Wishes for stories worthy to print online.

I'm not sure if the way Rashi explains it can be printed online if you have a good filter...

Manyhats,

Let me first clarify that the reason I cannot post the continuation I wrote is because it's less of a continuation and more of a romance story. It's not historically accurate at all, rather an expression of my fantasies.

However, even if I were to follow the text, it wouldn't be a "clean" story. It would involve the rape of Esther, which resulted in her being chosen as queen; and later, in her attempt to save the Jewish people, she would willingly be intimate with the king and forgo her relationship to Mordechai.

Malbim explains Megillas Esther this way. All agree (as far as I know) that Esther was non-submissive when she was first with the king, and it says that she was together with him in the month of Teves which is a cold month, and this led to his greater pleasure with her because "haguf neheneh min haguf", "one body enjoys the other."

Later, when it says that Esther approached the king without being summoned, it says that Esther approached the golden scepter and touched the tip of the scepter. Malbim suggests that "touching the scepter" (without the word "golden") alludes to se*ual initiation.

So you see that the story is not exactly happily ever after. Esther remained imprisoned in the palace and Mordechai was beloved to "rov amo"- the MAJORITY of his people, despite all that he had done for them.

Just want to thank everyone for their kind compliments! I have always written, but never professionally. Songs for high school productions, short stories for literature class, and as you see, personal pieces which are saved on my computer!

I will IY"H try to add more, I think I understand the style people like... Wink

Alas, life leaves precious little time for writing! Thank you again!
