Best Answer

The bringing into his presence the sole servant who survived the decades-old killings of Theban King Laius and the royal escort party is what Theban King Oedipus intends when he asks of his wife, Theban Queen Jocasta, "And could you fetch him quickly back again?" in "Oedipus Rex."

Specifically, the servant is a former shepherd who becomes Jocasta's most trusted and loyal confidant. For his loyalty, he ends up being promoted to palace work. But after the death of Jocasta's husband Laius, the servant no longer wants to work within Thebes' walls. So Jocasta gives the servant permission to return to shepherding outsideThebes ... until Oedipus expresses an interest in interviewing this sole surviving witness to the murder of a Theban king.

How do try out for fetch with ruff ruffman?

The auditions are held at WGBH Studios in Boston, Massachusetts and the process is very simple. Once the FETCH! website announces the auditions in the "Scoop," follow the instructions posted on the scoop and schedule an appointment with the casting agency (Maura Tighe Casting, etc.) They will email you back with your appointment time. When the audition comes, go to the WGBH Studios in Boston, MA and go through the audition process. Once finished you have completed the first, but major step to become a FETCH! contestant. If the casting agency emails you back to schedule another appointment you have been selected for callbacks. If you get an email and choose to make an additional appointment you will have to go back to the Studio and do another audition to promote to the next level. This may happen several times. The whole casting process is done in about one month. You may have a chance of becoming a FETCH! contestant so try it out!!!!


To what does petruchio refer to when he mentions being crossed?

He means being contradicted and opposed, two things Katherine is very fond of doing. In order to train her not to argue with him all the time, he makes the preposterous claim that the sun is the moon. Of course her first inclination is to tell him that he is wrong. He responds: "Now, by my mother's son, and that's myself, It shall be moon, or star, or what I list, Or ere I journey to your father's house. Go on, and fetch our horses back again. Evermore cross'd and cross'd; nothing but cross'd!"

What does Oedipus mean when he asks if Jocasta can 'fetch him quickly back again' in 'Oedipus Rex'?

The only eyewitness to Laius' murder is the person to whom Oedipus refers when he asks Jocasta about the possibility of bringing said person back for questioning in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the pestilence that ravages Thebes will end with the identification and punishment of the guilty in the long unsolved murder of Theban King Laius. King Oedipus fears that he is the killer upon learning that the killing takes place at the Delphi-Daulia crossroads in Phocis, where he himself kills five strangers before moving to Thebes. But Jocasta, Oedipus' wife and Laius' widow, says that a group of people commit the crime, according to the eyewitness account of the sole surviving member of Laius' five-member escort party. Oedipus asks to hear this testimony with his own ears since he is the lone killer of his victims.
