Mordechai, Esther and Haman as the Adam, Chava and the snake.
Haman seduced the Jews to eat from the feast of Achashverosh just as the snake seduced Chava to eat from the tree.
Our sages say that when Adam ate from the tree it caused him to worship avoda zara. Therefore Haman made himself into an avoda zara, Haman Gematria "tzav" which refers to avoda zara ("hoyil halach acharei tzav") and tried to get Mordechei to bow down to him, in the likeness of Adam.
