I'm having difficulty understanding Tamar's plan.
If she saw that she wasn't being given to Yehuda's youngest son why didn't she simply go to him and ask or demand to be married to Shelah? Furthermore, if Shelah has reached maturity why doesn't she go to him directly?
Did she have a 'plan b' if Yehuda had not opted to sleep with her when he thought she was a random prostitute?
If, for whatever reason, she feels she needs to deceive Yehuda, why does she wait until she is about to be killed to hint at who the father is? Why not reveal herself to Yehuda right away and explain her actions?
