   The Vashti of Midrash Esther Rabbah is noble, passionate and politically savvy. She recognizes her terrible position in the face of Ahasuerus’s coup. She appeals to the last corroded fragments of the king’s soul: his sense of masculinity, his own political savvy and, lastly, an appeal to his humanity and his love for her. All is in vain.

   Who is Vashti in the Book of Esther?

   • Donate In the biblical Book of Esther, Vashti appears only briefly. The first wife of King Ahasuerus, she refuses her husband’s summons to parade before his friends at a party and — after the king and his advisors hold an emergency consultation about her shocking insubordination — is summarily banished. This paves the way for the story to unfold.
