What pledges does Oedipus make to the people of Thebes in 'Oedipus Rex'?

That he will find out the cause of and solution to the pestilence in Thebes and that he will identify and punish Laius' killer are the pledges made by Oedipus to the people of Thebes in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the Apolline oracle says that the pestilence will end when the killer of Theban King Laius is identified and punished. Oedipus promises that he will do precisely that. He even goes so far as to add that the punishment of execution or exile will be applied to whomsoever has information but does not share and whomsoever helps or harbors the guilty.

How do you compare and contrast 'Oedipus Rex' and 'The Gods Are Not To Blame'?

That the one is an adaptation of the other and that one is set in ancient Greece and the other in Nigeria is a way of comparing and contrasting "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) and "The Gods Are Not to Blame" by Ola Rotimi (b. April 23, 1938).Specifically, "Oedipus Rex" is set in ancient Greece. "The Gods Are Not to Blame" is a modern updating of the ancient story of disgraced Theban King Oedipus.

Why were there witches in Macbeth?

Macbeth was written and performed for King James. Shakespeare wanted to please the king, so he wrote a fairly short play (James liked short plays). King James himself had written a book on witches and how to detect them. For this, Shakespeare decided to add a supernatural twist to his play, as to please the king. Basically the King wrote a book about witches so Shakespeare thought putting witches in his play would please the king. Source: http://home.flash.net/~manniac/macb.htm
