| rdfs:comment | - A character gets rid of another character by physically or magically trapping them within some uncomfortable location so remote it will be impossible for them to escape by themselves.

Related to Out of Sight, Out of Mind and Put on a Bus. Compare And I Must Scream. Examples of Thrown Down a Well include:
