Esther invites Haman to a feast as part of her strategy to reveal her Jewish identity and to plead for her people's safety. By inviting Haman, she aims to create a setting where she can carefully unveil the plot against the Jews and appeal to King Xerxes for intervention. The feast serves to build trust and intimacy, allowing Esther to present her case in a compelling way. Ultimately, this moment is crucial in turning the tide against Haman's evil plans.
No. Vashti made such a feast. The feast of Esther was private; only Ahasuerus and Haman were invited.
The first was just called the "king's banquet", it was not a Jewish feast. Then there was Esther's banquet (Esther 3:18) In 5:5 it mentions a banquet that Esther had for the king and Haman. 7:1 mentions a second banquest Esther had for the king and Haman. 9:22 mentions the feast of Purim. It is called that in verse 26.
Haman
Haman had no time nor say to do anything to Esther, for once he was exposed as the one that wanted to kill Esther along with all the Jews, Achashveirosh (the king married to Esther) had Haman doomed to death.
Haman was the 'Jews enemy'
Esther prepared two feasts for King Ahasuerus in her effort to save her people from destruction. During the first feast, she revealed her Jewish identity and the plot against her people orchestrated by Haman. The second feast was crucial in persuading the king to take action against Haman and protect the Jews. These strategic gatherings played a pivotal role in the salvation of the Jewish people.
Haman the Agagite
Haman wanted to kill Mordecai and had a gallows built for that reason. Haman also wanted to kill all the Jews in the kingdom. But through the intervention of Mordecai and Queen Esther that was prevented. Haman was hanged on his own gallows. See the Book of Esther.

Esther 9:12
Esther.
The verse that mentions Haman's daughter, Zara, is found in the biblical book of Esther. Specifically, Esther 9:10 refers to Haman's ten sons, and while it does not explicitly name Zara, rabbinic tradition identifies her as one of Haman's daughters. The mention of Haman's family ties into the broader narrative of the conflict between the Jews and Haman's lineage.
