I assume that you are asking what is wrong in the city of
Thebes at the start of the play. If that is the case, there are a number of things
wrong. In general, things are going very badly for the city and that is why the people
want to find out the cause of the troubles.
Among the
problems are plague, fires, and famine. These things have been killing people and
animals and the city is in bad shape.
As it turns out, the
Oracle and Delphi says that all of these problems are happening because the previous
king, Laius, had been murdered.
