Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and fetched his friends and his wife Zeresh, demonstrating that Haman, despite his rage at Mordecai, controls his immediate impulse to act and instead goes home to gather his inner circle and presumably to discuss his grievance. This gathering of his friends and his wife suggests that Haman's distress is significant enough to require the counsel and support of those closest to him, and perhaps to seek reassurance of his own importance and status.
