DAF DISCUSSIONS - MEGILAH 5

Noah Cheses asked:

About half way down the page on 5: the gemmarah talks about the prohabition of work on purim. I am having trouble with that section. It seems simple but i know that there is more behind it and i have not been able to find any rishonim that deal with the mitzvot of purim and how they are Deverie kabalah and why the work prohabition was never accepted on purim. If you know of nay commentators that deal with what is behind this gemmarah (or regarding that aspect of purim)i would appreciate if you could guide me to them. thank you!
