📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient Persian Empire under King Ahasuerus, likely Xerxes I, the king was hosting a grand banquet to showcase his wealth and authority to his nobles and people. He commanded Queen Vashti to appear before the guests, probably to display her beauty as a symbol of his power, which was a customary way for rulers to assert dominance in that culture. Her refusal led to the king's fury, highlighting the rigid social hierarchies and the limited rights of women in Persian society, setting the foundation for the rest of the biblical story of Esther.
