* TrappedAtTheDinnerTable: A macabre example. Cheryl doesn't eat meat because her father worked at a meat-packing plant and his clothes would always smell like it when he molested her. Quaid, a psychopath studying people's worst fears, locks her in a room with a well-cooked steak and refuses to let her out until she eats all of it. After about a week, she finally eats it in desperation, even though it's gone rotten.

She CAN kill herself to get out. The knife is there. So it is not an example.

First, by leaving her in a room with nothing but a cooked and salted steak despite her aversion to eating meat (due to her [[RapeAsBackstory father smelling of it while molesting her]]), then [[spoiler:leaving her in a room with nothing but a knife and her dead boyfriend, also intending for her to eat him out of starved desperation]].
