Haman was one rude dude
And come to think of it, what kind of honor was being shown to Mordechai by having him led through the streets in royal robes and on the king's horse at an hour at which he could barely be seen?
A tallit-and-tefillin-wearing woman in a traditional Conservative synagogue?! An unorthodox—and non-orthodox—perspective on Jews and Judaism from a perpetual misfit. This blog, welcoming the entire Jewish community, is dedicated to those who take Judaism seriously, but not necessarily literally.

True if there's no time lapse between the events in Ch. 6 (the king's sleeplessness, then Haman coming in, then Mordecai being honored). That's a plausible reading- but not the only plausible reading. I don't think we have to assume that (especially since the text tells us nothing about Mordecai being woken up in the middle of the night).
Good point. We really don't know at what hour Mordechai was led through the streets.
