Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 5:14

14 Then said Zeresh his wife, and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high , and to morrow speak thou unto the king, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused the gallows to be made.

That it might be more conspicuous to all, and thereby be more disgraceful to Mordecai, and strike all Hamans enemies with the great dread of despising or opposing him.
