The Iyyun Yaakov on the Ein Yaakov explains the idea of blessing Haman ym’s and ch’v cursing Mordechai. When one is inebriated, he might ch’v curse Mordechai as he started up with Haman ym’s and bless Haman ym’s as he accomplished what 48 neviim could not. He was able to turn the Jews to teshuva. The Chasam Sofer explains that Mordechai could not bow down to Haman as he wore an idol, getchke. The others had an excuse that they are bowing down to give him respect (see the RMA YD 150) but Haman ym’s was Mordechai’s servant. Mordechai actually showed him the contract of selling himself for some bread in the desert.
