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. This is a way to do the death/resurrection plot without cheapening death, since the trapped character is always brought back. A fun word for a prison of this type is "oubliette" where a prisoner would be thrown to be literally forgotten about (from "oublier" = "to forget"). 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:
