Explanation:

According to the passage, Oedipus notices the recurring living conditions of his people and comes forth to raise their morale. In order to achieve this, he promises to "assist" his people "willingly in every way", and to become a "hard-hearted man". This effectively proves Oedipus' commitment to help his people.
