There always have been and always will be groups of peoples that are being persecuted. One big similarity between Esther and the peoples being persecuted is that someone needs to stand up if anything is going to change. A more recent example would be the Civil Rights Movement. To make a change, Martin Luther King Jr. needed to stand up to make a change, just as Esther did. The stereotype found in the story is that a woman cannot do anything for herself; that she needs a man. Esther proves this wrong when she stands up for herself and her people against Haman. The more current example of this is the woman, Malala. She stood up for her people, breaking the stereotype that women cannot do anything for themselves. These aspects and stereotypes, almost always found in myths, are found in society today
