What is exits and entrances in theatre?

"Exit" means that a character's part has finished for the moment and they leave the stage. "Exit right" means they leave by the right side facing the stage, and "exit left" vice versa. "Enter" is just the opposite. It means the character comes on stage to enter the scene.


Why actors entered from the audience in Elizabethan theatre?

They might, but it was more convenient to enter from the tiring house which stood just behind the stage, and had usually two entrances onto the main stage, plus entrances to the concealment space and the balcony.


Can a teenage boy have the Oedipus complex?

According to Freud's Psychosexual stages of development, no. For the Oedipal complex to apply the child must enter the phallic stage of development, the age group that corresponds to this stage is 4-6 yrs old. However, if the teenage boy has unresolved issues in this stage of development, then I think Freud might be inclined to say that he has "fixated" at this stage, meaning until he resolves his issues at this stage, this teenage boy will continue to wrestle with this.


How did ghosts enter the stage at the Globe Theatre?

Not real ghosts, presumably, but stage ghosts. Ghosts appear in the following Shakespearean plays: Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and Richard III. In Hamlet, the stage directions say only "Enter Ghost", which could mean that he entered through the same doors of all the other actors. Indeed in Act 1 Scene 5 he must enter through the same door as Hamlet as Hamlet is following him. The same can be said for Caesar's Ghost and the Ghosts in Richard III. They could also appear on the balcony. Using the trapdoor would have been awkward and ineffective.
