Why was the miracle of Purim and the punishments exacted against Haman necessary to be מדה כנגד מדה?

Seemingly Haman could have had his head chopped off or another method of killing, why specifically is so much of the Purim story "measure for measure"?

That's how Hashem does justice. Same goes for Exodus and many other examples. – shmosel May 30 '23 at 22:11
@shmosel Can you please share any sources for this? – The Targum May 30 '23 at 22:14
Do you mean mida kneged mida in general or why did it have to be specifically on the gallows that he prepared? – Chatzkel May 30 '23 at 22:29
@Chatzkel there is a lot of Midah K'neged Midah in the story. it is similar to the "v'nehapoch". – The Targum May 30 '23 at 22:31
