Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II

Israel is figured as a dove trapped at the dovecote between the snake within and hawk without, unable to flee because Haman has written to the four winds -- a concrete trapped-and-fearing-for-its-life image matching the plus's 'righteous nation troubled, fearing its own evils, prepared to perish.'

Mordecai 'knew' annihilation was decreed for the specific sin of bowing to Nebuchadnezzar's image -- matching Addition C's confession that they were handed to their enemies 'because we glorified their gods.'

Haman's whole career is dated 'from when he went down to annul the building of the Temple' (citing Ezra 4:6) -- making the enemy's real target God's house, matching Addition C's specific clause 'to quench the glory of your house and your altar.'

Mordecai is called 'Yehudi' specifically because, unlike everyone else, he alone did not eat at Ahasuerus's banquet -- the same specific abstention-from-the-royal-table motif Addition C makes Esther's boast.

Esther tastes nothing from the king's table, only her own food, explicitly compared to Hananiah/Mishael/Azariah refusing Nebuchadnezzar's rations -- matching Addition C's 'your servant has not eaten at the table of Haman... nor drunk the wine of libations.'

All the Jews ate gentile dishes at Ahasuerus's feast and Mordecai alone abstained -- the same specific abstention-from-the-royal-banquet motif as Addition C's 'nor have I honored the king's banquet, nor drunk the wine of libations.'

The king refuses to sell the Jews and Haman argues him out of it with a false premise ('that was true while God favored them, but now his house is destroyed and he is angry with them') -- matching Addition E's 'malice deceiving... the sincere good faith of those who hold power' precisely.
