Gilded Cage	comment	Welcome, illustrious guest, to the Gilded Cage resort and day spa! It's a beautiful, luxuriously furnished place, where the character's every need is provided in abundance. Their every whim is immediately fulfilled by a Maid Corps. The resident of such a paradisiac place can do anything they want... except leave. See, they are not really a resident but a prisoner and the Maid Corps are the genteel security guards, in addition to the genuine guards. There is no leaving this place for any reason, with a good balance of carrots and sticks to make sure no one wants to either. It may be used by an Affably Evil villain who has to detain someone for their Evil Plan and wants to be hospitable and decent about it. Even Evil Has Standards. Maybe they have a Villainous Crush on someone and this is part of their attempts to win them over, or at least keep them from getting too angry about being kidnapped in the first place. It is also likely where the villain's "guests" will remain when not at dinner. The Gilded Cage can be as small as a single, well-appointed room, or it may be as large as a mansion or a castle. Frequently overlaps with Caged Bird Metaphor, when a character's situation is compared to that of a caged bird. Inverse of the Luxury Prison Suite, which is a literal prison turned into a nice place. Compare Lotus-Eater Machine, which also a scenario designed to keep prisoners in place through contentment, as well as Possessive Paradise, where the place itself doesn't want you to leave. It is often used as An Aesop about why one should prefer Liberty Over Prosperity. If the character finally manages to escape, expect them to struggle with the simplest tasks due to having been sheltered from the hardships of the outside world. See also Crapsaccharine World, Fantastic Nature Reserve, and Lonely Rich Kid. Non-consensual sub-trope of The Shut-In.

Gilded Cage / int_10d303a2	comment	The Eastern Kingdom of Mikado in Shin Megami Tensei IV. For bonus points, the Archangels are trying to change the status quo so humanity is forever imprisoned in their God-sanctioned playpen by tossing Tokyo into a black hole, forever denying humans of the knowledge and technology there. With Mikado under their influence, no one will ever again feel curiosity, need of change, or guilt - erasing Lucifer's taint on the hearts of Men and ensuring the Law faction's absolute dominance per secula seculorum.

She created a single perfect day that is repeated endlessly as in a "Groundhog Day" Loop, and the use of hours ensures that they remain forever young and beautiful. The game compares them to jewels preserved in a glass case. However, as "perfect" the day might seem, some young folks like the Luckless Sister actively loathe the monotony of their life in Perdurance. Too bad they can't leave unless their parents displease Her Renewed Majesty.

It's a pretty neat place, with puzzle-dispensing robots and a private amusement park and an elaborate tower for her exclusive residence.

Gilded Cage / int_1682583	comment	Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: Amuro Ray has been living in a very nice mansion in the midwest USA since the end of the One Year War. However, he's effectively under house arrest there, with his movements constantly monitored by the Federation government. This occurs despite his war hero status because the Federation is terrified by the existence of Newtypes, and Amuro is one of the most powerful known Newtypes as well as an ace MS pilot, and they are worried he might revolt against them. Which he ends up doing, in part because of their treatment of him. It's revealed that some of the other surviving White Base crew also suffered the same fate. In Bright's case, it's being given the "privilege" of being a glorified chaffeur for the Federation's elite while his wife Mirai and their children Hathaway and Cheimin are forced to live in Jaburo as "hostages" to keep him in line. As with Amuro, this backfires: he soon joins the AEUG, and some time later Amuro and his allies rescue Bright's family and take them to actual safety.

Gilded Cage / int_17ace8e1	comment	Elizabeth's home on Monument Island in Bioshock Infinite is an almost perfect example, consisting of a suite of lavishly furnished rooms and a large library housed within the statue of the archangel Columbia, from which she is unable to escape by any means. However, Elizabeth is completely unaware that there's a huge scientific facility built around her chambers, and a team of amoral researchers keeps her under almost constant surveillance via a series of one-way mirrors. On top of that, the tower is protected by the Songbird, a gigantic cybernetic beast programmed to terminate any unauthorized personnel with extreme prejudice. Similarly, Eleanor Lamb from Bioshock 2 has wound up like this twice - as a child, she was taught well, but was kept under lock and key from the rest of Rapture's society via security locks, though she managed to figure out how to hack the systems. When the player finds her as an adult, she's kept in a plush sealed environment, guarded by psychotic psuedo-zombies lead by her mother, Sofia Lamb.

You will be fed, clothed and given education, if you climb up the ranks high enough, you can even enjoy a luxurious lifestyle. But you canâ€™t leave your tower without permission, all of your works belong to the Chantry. Any children you have will be taken away from you at the moment of their birth. Any chance of acting out of line can result in you being beaten, imprisoned, make Tranquil or killed. And even if you act within your line, you can still be abused by the Templars for the hell of it if you donâ€™t have your family backing you.

One of the statues found in the cities itself displays the hypocrisy in full view, with Gwyn towering over and 'generously' handing a crown to a meek and naked Pygmy.

As well as Twilight making sure she's well fed with food ordered from the palace kitchen, offering to hear any of her own suggestions for ways to make her stay more comfortable, and giving her the run of her personal study and living areaâ€¦ but nowhere else. Cozy's locked in that little area of the palace at all times unless Twilight escorts her personally, she isn't allowed to see anypony but those Twilight specifically lets in to see her, most ponies don't even know she's there to begin with, and (at least at first) she has the constant fear that Twilight will reimprison her in stone if she steps out of line hanging over her. And even after Twilight goes back on her threat to do so and swears she'll never give up on her and that will never happen, Cozy herself still sees it as a real possibility. Twilight still insists that it's not a prison, but Cozy doesn't buy it.

They discuss this trope and Chrom implies that he'd rather be out with normal people than in Ylisse's castle, though he doesn't seem to be very bitter about it. Happens twofold in Fire Emblem Fates, involving the same place: The Avatar is kidnapped away from his/her family in Hoshido and confined to a fortress in Nohr, the kingdom that took him/her away. At first they're shabbily treated by King Garon, but later their situation noticeably improves and by the time the game begins, the fortress is shown to have very comfortable quarters for the Avatar and his/her retainers (and one of the mangas shows that it's quite a bigger building than one would've believed). The Avatar still cannot get out, though, and the plot is kickstated when he or she does get the chance. It's later revealed that said fortress was also a GC for the ninja maids Felicia and Flora, the daughters of the chieftain of the Ice Tribe, kept as hostages to force their people into submission. Flora knows this and is very bitter, but Felicia is Locked Out of the Loop.

Gilded Cage / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: When Belle trades herself in for her father in the Beast's captivity in Beauty and the Beast, she initially thinks that she'll be kept in the dungeons, but the Beast takes her to much better arrangements in a guest room. She has the Beast's entire servant staff waiting on her and almost the entire castle to herself — none of which conceals the fact that she is a prisoner. Princess Jasmine, Aladdin. She considers the palace to be a prison because she isn't allowed to leave. In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Esmeralda claims sanctuary in Notre Dame Cathedral, which fits the grandeur element of the trope, though perhaps not the 'comfort.' Frollo invokes this trope almost by name. In the beginning of Tangled, Rapunzel's tower is a charming home in a pretty, secluded glade in the forest by a waterfall, and her beloved smother Gothel provides her with just enough in hobbies and housework to keep her content with her situation. Even though Rapunzel can physically leave the tower, Gothel also makes her afraid to do so and, when that stops working, just grounds her... forever. Elsa and her younger sister Anna from Frozen haven't left their home in over ten years at the start of the film. It's implied Elsa has barely left her room in that timespan. In Elsa's case it's partially self-imposed due to fear that her ice powers could harm people, while Anna is forced to stay a shut-in due to her sister. Their parents, the queen and king, were Well Intentioned Extremists who wanted the best for their kids but ended up just shutting them off from everyone. The movie kicks off when Elsa is forced to open her gilded cage on her coronation day. She tries to re-close the gates after an argument with Anna regarding her engagement with Hans, presumably to get rid of him, but unfortunately, before she could do so, Anna's Armor-Piercing Question caused Elsa to snap and reveal her powers to everyone, which makes her run away in fear.

Here, Imelda Marcos has her former caretaker Estrella Cumpas placed in a "safe house" in Manila, with guards "for her own protection". All this because Estrella wrote a biography of Imelda—and Imelda would rather the world not know about her early years in poverty.

They were more than eager until they found out he intended for their stay to be permanent: it was no gig but rather he wanted them to live there with him and share in his life of luxury while playing for him on demand. As Josie put it, he wanted to "put them in golden chains". Unlike the "princess" with Archie however he wasn't a bad person: it was a voluntary offer which they merely misinterpreted, and he unhappily but willingly sent them home when they refused it.

There are only a small number of Japanese people left in the world after the destruction of Japan, so the world governments created the colony as a last resort to keep them alive. Unfortunately, no one is allowed into the colony without special permission, and its residents are not allowed outside period. In the story mode of -REVELATOR-, it's revealed that this was done for an ulterior purpose: to ensure that none of the Japanese would be able to escape being turned into living bombs by Ariels.

Gilded Cage / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Lord Vetinari has a special section of his palace set aside for an Expy of Da Vinci, the dangerously brilliant Leonard of Quirm, separated from the rest of the palace by a secret passage full of potentially lethal traps. The twist is that Leonard doesn't actually mind it, or even consider himself to be imprisoned, since his particular cage is filled with enough paper and ink and bits of things to keep his mind occupied the whole time. In fact, the first time he was allowed out, a few days later he returned and locked himself back in, so that people who would turn his designs into terrible weapons could not get to him. It is strongly implied that this is not, technically, a prison, as Leonard of Quirm can apparently leave it at will, having designed most of the traps. It is not made quite clear whether Vetinari knows this, nor whether either of them consider it a prison or just let everyone else think that. Vetinari seems to have this as something of a policy; he claims that you should never build a dungeon you wouldn't want to spend the night in because if you are overthrown the usurper will have you tossed in it. It's not exactly luxurious, but it is clean, airy, and free of any of the snakes and scorpions that his predecessor employed. There are rats, but only because Vetinari taught them how to eliminate the snakes and scorpions, and in gratitude they act as servants. There's also a hidden key, and the door can be bolted only on the inside. The man really thought this through. Another Vetinari example: Moist von Lipwig finds his new life as Postmaster General to be this. He can go where he wants and do what he pleases... but he's under the watchful eye of a parole officer. Said officer is a golem who never sleeps, never stops working, is almost indestructible, and can sense Moist's location wherever he goes. He may be able to move around, but Moist is all too aware that he's still a prisoner.

Lord Warwick abducts Edward IV and imprisons the king inside Warwick Castle. After Anne Neville becomes George of Clarence's ward, she is trapped within his residence. Countess Warwick is permanently confined at Warwick Castle under the orders of her son-in-law Richard of Gloucester. After King Richard III discovers that Margaret Beaufort is plotting to oust him from the throne, her husband Lord Stanley volunteers to be her jailer to prevent her from being executed as a traitor. Margaret is kept isolated at Stanley's Bletsoe country house. Richard III convinces Elizabeth Woodville to leave sanctuary so that she and her younger daughters can live at Grafton Manor under house arrest.

While his stated reason for joining the titular hotel is just for the free room, he admits that he also thinks that it might be an escape from under Valentino's thumb.

Gilded Cage / int_4f9064f6	comment	The Tower of the Sacred Flame becomes this to Lady Lianne and its other occupants after Lord Shen takes over Gongmen City in The Vow. Years earlier, Lianne even calls the tower this trope when she has to spend one year as the peacock family's guest. The epilogue has an interesting variant: after Shen survives his canon ending and returns to Lianne (who has become his wife and expectant with his child), he's made by her to stay inside the borders of the Shan Palace (her birth home) where the knowledge of his survival would be kept a secret from all of China. She does this because handing him over to China's authorities would mean either his execution or life sentence, and she cannot swallow the thought of losing him again. Eventually Shen concedes to this new life; even if his liberty has been limited, he can still live with his wife and child.

Homura steals Madoka's godlike powers and resets the world so everybody else is normal and nobody remembers how the world used to be. This is all so Madoka can be safe and happy. The problem is that when Madoka and Sayaka remember how the world used to be, they consider what Homura did to be wrong and want to break out, so Homura simply erases their memories, presumably every time they regain them. Note the school which was very white in the anime, especially the roof with its lovely gothic cage. It is now literally gold-toned.

The conclusion of her character arc has her reach the decision to accept this, because she does truly love the inn, the staff, and the town, and she doesn't want to turn her back on them just for the sake of being rebellious when she truly does want to stay. Shadow Yukiko hints at this from the start - the door of the cage is wide-open.

Gilded Cage / int_59da62aa	comment	The Lucky 38 Presidential Suite in Fallout: New Vegas, though only in the eyes of Cass and Arcade, both of whom have a low opinion on New Vegas. The others range from ambivalent to (in the case of Veronica) enjoying living in relative luxury. The player and their companions are free to leave at any time, but the suite itself is given in exchange for working with Mr. House and the House always wins... or not. The Sierra Madre Casino became this when its security systems activated during the nuclear war, trapping the Gala Event guests inside to either starve to death or be killed by the Security Holograms. Mostly subverted in Fallout 1, since Vault 13 could almost be considered this were it not for the fact that the water chip started collapsing on itself, thus forcing you, the Vault Dweller, to go find a replacement. Sadly, you're not allowed to stay after the end, because even when you're done with that, alongside shredding the mutant millitary base and the Cathedral's revered leader likely by "convincing" him just how well his plans will go with sterile creatures, Jacoren, the Overseer who sent you out in the first place, exiles you from the vault permanently as reward whilst he claims that you're too much of a heroic inspiration to be controlled. Cue endgame, alongside a little lethal treat for him with the right effects. Vault 101 from Fallout 3 is another example. Providing you are willing to obey the Overseer, the dictator who runs the place, and never leave, life is dull but comfortable. Meanwhile, people in the wasteland outside are free but have to contend with raiders, mutants, and fascist militias in Powered Armor trying to kill them at every turn. The vaults in general were advertised as this in the event of a nuclear apocalypse, however in reality most of them were designed as horrific social experiments and the majority who entered them often suffered rather unfortunate ends.

Her mood sours when the player character tries to leave and she warns them several times to go back to the room while she destroys the only exit leading out of the Ruins. Following her to the very end of the hall forces them to fight her to prove that they're are strong enough to survive on their own. If the player spares Toriel peacefully, she apologizes for trying to keep them trapped and lets them go with a Final First Hug while asking them not to come back.

Arguably Rimmerâ€™s childhood was like this. His family were obviously very well off on Io, sending him off to boarding school and his brothers to the Academy. However, with his parents being horribly abusive and implied to hate each other, as well as his fatherâ€™s apparent attempted suicide, itâ€™s obvious that Arnold was desperately unhappy there. He finally apparently escaped by divorcing them and claiming emancipation until employment age. However, it is also painfully apparent that despite his â€˜freedomâ€™ the gilded cage still exists in his psyche, with him still desperately trying to become an officer and earn his familyâ€™s approval 3 million years later.

Gilded Cage / int_629cd094	comment	The opening narration of the Mage Origin in Dragon Age: Origins describes the Tower of the Circle of Magi as one of these. The mages get access to better and better quarters as they rise in rank, they have access to all of the resources a student of magic could ever desire, and they get all of their needs provided for them. The Tranquil even make use of their talent for alchemy to brew fine ale. Too bad they can't ever leave the Tower except on official Circle business unless they want to risk Death by Templar. The same Templars never let them out of their sight — always watching. Some mages learn to appreciate the benefits and opportunities the Circle provides and come to accept their restricted lives. Others... don't. The restrictions aren't incredibly harsh in the Ferelden Circle, at least. In Awakening you can run into a Circle mage doing research on alchemical plants, in the middle of nowhere without any kind of supervision, implicitly for weeks at a time. Word of God confirms that the Knight-Commander in Ferelden is considered almost excessively liberal because he's willing to allow mages to leave the tower as long as they arrange it through proper channels. Zevran considers being an Antivan Crow to be this. You can be wealthy, respected and desired - provided you follow orders, murder people, and never quite forget that you're expendable. Not to mention it involves Training from Hell starting at a very young age. In Dragon Age II the Kirkwall Circle of Magi has it even worse: not only are the Templars even stricter (verging on psychotic), but over the course of the game the "gilding" on their cage is gradually removed. In Act 2 there's a rather nasty point in which Ser Alrik is implied to be making mages Tranquil so he can use them as sex slaves. By Act 3, mages aren't even permitted to leave their cells. The Circle is even housed in a former prison complex, so the gilding was somewhat limited in the first place. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Cassandra Pentaghast confides that her life before becoming a Seeker was very much like this. She's a distant cousin to Nevarra's royal family and descended from dragonslayers, although she's probably the only living member of the clan who has actually killed a dragon; as a child, she was the ward of her uncle, who didn't really have much to do with her, and she says that all she knew of Nevarra for a long time was what she saw through the window. She describes her state in the family as being like a porcelain doll, occasionally brought out to be shown off but generally just kept aside.

Gilded Cage / int_67ce5a04	comment	Happens twofold in Fire Emblem Fates, involving the same place: The Avatar is kidnapped away from his/her family in Hoshido and confined to a fortress in Nohr, the kingdom that took him/her away. At first they're shabbily treated by King Garon, but later their situation noticeably improves and by the time the game begins, the fortress is shown to have very comfortable quarters for the Avatar and his/her retainers (and one of the mangas shows that it's quite a bigger building than one would've believed). The Avatar still cannot get out, though, and the plot is kickstated when he or she does get the chance. It's later revealed that said fortress was also a GC for the ninja maids Felicia and Flora, the daughters of the chieftain of the Ice Tribe, kept as hostages to force their people into submission. Flora knows this and is very bitter, but Felicia is Locked Out of the Loop.

In Awakening you can run into a Circle mage doing research on alchemical plants, in the middle of nowhere without any kind of supervision, implicitly for weeks at a time. Word of God confirms that the Knight-Commander in Ferelden is considered almost excessively liberal because he's willing to allow mages to leave the tower as long as they arrange it through proper channels.

Gilded Cage / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: "The King of Omashu". This is how Toph grew up. She lived in luxury and had the run of the whole estate. But she wasn't allowed to travel outside the estate or exercise her incredible potential at Earthbending — her parents thought this was too dangerous for their "helpless little blind girl." Nobody other than her family and her Earthbending teacher knew that she even existed. The Gaang's experience in Ba Sing Se. They were allowed to indulge in all the luxury they wanted, as long as they didn't try to leave, or break the rules, or evade the constant surveillance, or search for Appa, or tell anyone about Long Feng's Government Conspiracy or the war with the Fire Nation... Toph wasn't the least bit surprised at this, because she's been there before. In the spinoff comic The Search, after Ursa marries Ozai, she is told that while her life as queen will be much more luxurious than in her home village, she cannot see her family, friends or old boyfriend Ikem again, have certain possessions or go anywhere she wants without the royal family's permission. In the Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra, similar to Toph, the titular character lives in a large mansion with nothing to worry about except mastering all four elements in safety. However, said mansion is located in a compound miles away from the rest of the Southern Water Tribe — including Korra's own parents. It is fenced off and guarded and Korra isn't allowed to leave for even a brief period of time without permission. With an upbringing like hers it's little wonder she has trouble relating to other people. However, there was a general need for her protection. When she was younger a group known as the Red Lotus tried to kidnap and kill her.

Gilded Cage / int_7668653a	comment	In Mass Effect 2, the Normandy SR-2 is one of these for Shepard; essentially created to make Shepard more comfortable while working with Cerberus, it's a replica of the first Normandy, but equipped with civilian luxuries that the original never had: a research lab, a kitchen, a lounge with observation windows and a mini-bar, and (as Joker points out) leather seats. Shepard's even given an upper deck for use as his/her private quarters, complete with a king-sized bed, an office space, an en-suite bathroom, a massive fishtank, and a display case for model ships. In spite of all these benefits, it's still a gilded cage: the entire ship has been bugged and most of the crew are loyal Cerberus operatives, so the Illusive Man is notified of whatever happens on-board; in spite of all the leeway Shepard is given, s/he's still firmly under the Illusive Man's thumb for most of the game. At the end of the game, you have the option to make off with it and get a chance for an immensely satisfying screw you to TIM. The next game also reveals that the Normandy had mechanisms so that Cerberus could take control of it remotely if Shepard tried to leave. Fortunately, by the time that became an issue, EDI had been unshackled and shut those protocols down. The last time Cerberus tried to activate them, she flooded their servers with seven zettabytes of porn. Also revealed in the third game is the monastery where Ardat-Yakshi are kept. They're given a large, open space to live in comfort... but they'll be murdered if they try to leave or can't stay when it's destroyed. On the plus side, there are references to Ardat-Yakshi who demonstrate sufficient self-control being permitted supervised reintegration into asari society.

It's implied Elsa has barely left her room in that timespan. In Elsa's case it's partially self-imposed due to fear that her ice powers could harm people, while Anna is forced to stay a shut-in due to her sister. Their parents, the queen and king, were Well Intentioned Extremists who wanted the best for their kids but ended up just shutting them off from everyone. The movie kicks off when Elsa is forced to open her gilded cage on her coronation day. She tries to re-close the gates after an argument with Anna regarding her engagement with Hans, presumably to get rid of him, but unfortunately, before she could do so, Anna's Armor-Piercing Question caused Elsa to snap and reveal her powers to everyone, which makes her run away in fear.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "The Hunted" is about a planet, Angosia, petitioning for membership in the Federation when a man named Roga Danar escapes from their penal colony on one of their moons. Roga then reveals that he and his fellow inmates committed no crimes. They were exiled to the moon after they served Angosia in a war where, because of their planet's Proud Scholar Race society, the men had to be turned into Super Soldiers to survive the war. When they came home, their conditioning made it too difficult to reintegrate into society so the people of Angosia chose to exile all of their veterans to the lunar penal colony and make it as comfortable as possible. Picard openly states that even the most comfortable prison is still a prison. During the second part of "Chain of Command", Gul Madred offers a tortured Picard a choice of luxury or more torture. Had Picard taken him up on that offer, he would have had comfortable digs near the Cardassian capital, with all the food he would eat and opportunities to pursue his hobby of archaeology. But for all intents and purposes, he would still be a prisoner of Cardassia. During "Face of the Enemy", Stefan De Seve, a Starfleet ensign, is arrested for treason for defecting to the Romulan Star Empire. He is kept in actual crew quarters instead of a brig. Star Trek: Voyager: In "Displaced", the entire Voyager crew is transported one-by-one off the ship and placed within a prison habitat environmentally controlled to parameters that the alien kidnappers found would be a good fit for their crew. Afterwards, one of them shows up to tell them that they ought to be grateful. In "Concerning Flight", Janeway's Leonardo da Vinci holodeck program is "kidnapped" from the ship, and enlisted by Tau, an alien merchant, to design things for him. Janeway attempts to convince Leonardo she is freeing him from Tau's imprisonment. Leonardo, as an artist from Renaissance-era Italy, sees Tau as a wealthy patron with unlimited resources who lets him create to his heart's content, and insists "if this is a cage, it is a cage of gold!" Star Trek: Picard: In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2", Picard is under house arrest and his cell is Maddox's old room. He's comfortable and there's plenty of sunlight, but he envies the freedom of a synth butterfly. In the same episode, Data's simulated house is also a nice place, but it's still a prison for him because his mind can't exist outside of it.

They receive the best education and upbringing the Baron can provide for them, and most of the students do enjoy their life there and form friendships with the others.

Unfortunately, she finds her dullard husband and his mother-in-law to be just as intolerable, and having been raised to be haughty and spoiled, can't manage to find her way through it except by running away with the man she had hoped to marry. Unfortunately, he's an irresponsible rake who has no intention of marrying her.

The conclusion of her character arc has her reach the decision to accept this, because she does truly love the inn, the staff, and the town, and she doesn't want to turn her back on them just for the sake of being rebellious when she truly does want to stay. Shadow Yukiko hints at this from the start - the door of the cage is wide-open. Haru Okumura from Persona 5 may have grown up in wealth and splendor, but her father controls every aspect of her life and is planning to marry her off to an abusive jackass solely for his own political gain.

Gilded Cage / int_8f25225c	comment	Danganronpa: All of the settings count. They're all quite nice places (a school building, a luxury resort and a campus meant specifically for students to explore their talents) with plenty of things to do and all physical necessities taken care of, but they're also completely closed off, with the students having no idea what became of their homes and loved ones. And that's before Monokuma shows up... In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, the school itself ultimately becomes this to Makoto, Togami, Aoi, Hagakure and Touko (at least until she died) in Chapter 5's Bad Ending. All of them say they're living happily, but their huge talents have gone to waste and now they're confined to the school grounds, having a sort-of little family (and apparently Aoi is the only one giving birth to the kids, since Touko is dead and we don't know when she kicked it) that won't leave the place ever... Monokuma discusses the trope in the original game when he blames the students for killing each other; as he notes, none of his motives ever involve jeopardizing their life in the school (interfering with food supply, shutting off the air purifier, etc.), and they could simply ignore everything he says and remain there safely for the rest of their lives, so of course it's their fault if they don't want to spend their lives in one building or succumb to his psychological torture. In the sequel, the trope is discussed. In his fourth Free Time event, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu complains that he'd rather stay at a prisonnote as the Ultimate Yakuza, he's the most likely of the cast to wind up in prison than be trapped on Jabberwock Island (or rather, a virtual reality simulator, but that's a long story). Hinata then tells him that it's an odd case, as the place has soft beds, a beautiful ocean and entertainment, a point Kuzuryuu concedes. Essentially, a gilded cage is still preferable to an actual cage. The class does end up spending the rest of their lives there, because their actions under Junko's mind control mean that the rest of the world hates them and it's the only place they can live in peace.

The rest of them men thought Archie was insane for wanting to leave because they had everything they could ever want, to which Archie points out they have everything but freedom. A Josie and the Pussycats story had a brief plot point where an oil sheikh wanted The Pussycats to play at his compound for him. They were more than eager until they found out he intended for their stay to be permanent: it was no gig but rather he wanted them to live there with him and share in his life of luxury while playing for him on demand. As Josie put it, he wanted to "put them in golden chains". Unlike the "princess" with Archie however he wasn't a bad person: it was a voluntary offer which they merely misinterpreted, and he unhappily but willingly sent them home when they refused it.

Gilded Cage / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Sansa becomes a prisoner at King's Landing after her father's unjust execution. She still lives in luxury and is treated as a Lady, but she's at the mercy of the Lannisters and has to keep up a facade of still loving her betrothed Joffrey and hating her family for being traitors. Following the failed Greyjoy rebellion, Eddard Stark took the last surviving Greyjoy heir, Theon, back to Winterfell to be his ward. In theory, his father wouldn't act up again, knowing if he did his son would be killed. While Theon had all of the comforts of a highlord, he was still a prisoner and reminded of it frequently. (This is frequently the case in Westeros where "fostering" another lord's offspring is a euphemism for "holding them hostage to make sure their parents behave".) When a plot to put Princess Myrcella Baratheon on the throne fails, the royal plotter, Arianne Martell, is put by her father in a room full of comforts — great food, cyvasse (Westeros' equivalent of chess) — but servants who won't speak a word to her. This is more or less standard procedure for noble prisoners, being kept in comfortable but guarded rooms and occasionally allowed to walk around the castle under escort. Most notably, Jaimie Lannister is housed in one when he is captured at Oxcross-at least until his brother Tyrion's failed attempt to spring him. After that he's moved to a dungeon, where the much poorer treatment degrades his physical condition to the point Brienne is able to defeat him when he makes a second escape attempt-something she'd never be able to do normally.

The only resident who is still capable of original thought and genuine emotion is the philosopher Hypatia, and she sums it up thus: "You get here and you realize that anything's possible, and you do everything, and then you're done. But you still have infinity left. This place kills fun, and passion, and excitement, and love, 'til all you have left are milkshakes." The main characters solve the problem by installing a door that will let people leave the Good Place when they feel they are ready, allowing their time in the universe to come to an end.

The iron door of her room protects her from the axes, but it also separates her from the outside world. Everything changes when she meets Luffy... Doflamingo's kingdom Dressrosa appears to be a bustling and happy place, but only because everyone who knows the truth about it is turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone. When the truth about the toys became revealed, Doflamingo turns it into a much worse prison, enveloping the entire island inside a cage to trap his subjects much more literally. The islands in Big Mom's territory, collectively known as Totland, are a series of candy-themed Level Ate where people of all races can live together in harmony... and must donate a portion of their soul to Big Mom to stay alive, and are not permitted to leave. There's also the fact that Big Mom is prone to violent fits of rage where she'll destroy and kill everything in her path unless she's given what she's craving. Whole Cake Island, the center of Totland and Big Mom's HQ, is this for Big Mom's children. They're all left wanting for nothing, with food and riches everywhere they go, but Big Mom is so tyrannical and controlling that most of her children gave up on defying her to pursue their own dreams save for her daughter Lola, who successfully ran away with her mother's Vivre Card. Sanji, after being captured by Big Mom's pirates and the Germa 66, is given luxurious accommodations but he and everyone else does not hide the fact that he is a prisoner. In the Loose Canon film Strong World, this seems to be what Shiki does with Nami after kidnapping her. He appears to let her have freedom of movement around his palace, since during the brief time we see her there before her escape, rather than a dungeon of any sort she's lounging at his luxurious pool. Not that this makes her take his offer of joining him any more seriously. The non-canon film Gold takes this quite literally, as it takes place on a beautiful entertainment city-ship made entirely out of gold. However, the ruler Gild Tesoro intends for every visitor to lose their money by gambling and be forced to work for him on the ship, with his gold-controlling powers allowing him to control all of the visitors for good measure. A brief shot shows some of the girls working for him listlessly counting their money, unable to spend it on the one thing they want the most.

Fortunately, the Vigilantes and the Big Five eventually realized that they were stuck in these, and got out of them. Deja Vu reveals that Jellicoe put a reporter named Virgil Anders in one, because Virgil was writing a book about Jellicoe titled "Man, Myth, Monster", and Jellicoe objected to the "monster" part.

As Pillar, Emeraude was the most powerful person in Cephiro—but she had no freedom, at least not to have what she wished for the most: to be with the one she loved, Zagato. Later echoed by the Magic Knights when the invaders wanted to take over Cephiro—especially when Aska wanted to be beautiful, and is told "but for who?", since the Pillar could not fall in love with anyone, lest their thoughts and wishes not be for Cephiro anymore and it will start falling apart around them.

Gilded Cage / int_a33d74a4	comment	Sword of Truth: The prophet Nathan Rahl is kept in one of these by the Sisters of the Light, and given every comfort, except wine, because a drunken prophet is bad news. Later in the series, Nathan Rahl escapes, and his Mord-Sith servants capture the Prelate, the leader of the Sisters of the Light. He then has her thrown in a grimy prison cell, refuses her requests to see him with the same answers she had refused him with over the years ("I'm busy and can't be bothered to come down every time you clamor for me!"), and gives her all the wine she wants. Later, he shows up to meet with her, acts as if her prison cell is a Gilded Cage, and then makes a brief speech about how all prisons, regardless of how pretty or comfortable they are, are fundamentally the same. The same is true, though to a lesser degree, of all wizards held for training by the Sisters of the Light. Everyone is held by a Restraining Bolt that keeps them from moving too far away from the Palace, though with a leeway of at least several miles. And aside from a few hours of daily mandatory training, all trainees are given free reign of the city, with a nigh unlimited allowance to see to their comforts. The catch is that as they progress in their training, the students begin to lose more and more privileges as their magic becomes more dangerous. Thus, a vast majority of the trainees are spoiled Jerkasses who do the bare minimum of training in order to not be promoted past the allowances they've become accustomed to.

Gilded Cage / int_a4a6b86a	comment	The makers of Code Geass R2 designed Nunnally's garden aboard the airship with this in mind. The garden is incredibly nice and well cared for, but it's also surrounded by a deep, empty moat, with only a single narrow bridge leading to the rest of the ship. Since Nunnally is blind and confined to a wheelchair, this makes it extremely difficult/dangerous for her to leave the garden without assistance. This ends up again prominent in a subtle fashion come the finale battle Nunnally is officially set to be the Empress of Britannia over her older brother Lelouch supported by Schneizel and his forces, with a nuke armed floating fortress called "Damocles" as her new palace. However, the garden she's in this time puts her on a platform... which only has stairs leading off it, showing that she truly would be a Puppet Empress if Schneizel won. Lelouch is also put in one of these at Ashford Academy. It's a nice school, and many of his friends are there, but in R2 he's constantly being monitored by government agents looking for signs that he's regained his lost memories and become the terrorist leader Zero again. However, once his memories are back thanks to C.C's sort-of Kiss of Life... by using Blackmail, Mind Control, and emotional manipulation on the agents sent to watch him, he soon turns the Gilded Cage into the Gilded Base For His Terrorist Operations. This was also the case for Empress Tianzi, who lived, well, like an empress in the Vermilion Forbidden City, but whose greatest desire was to leave and see the world. Luckily for her, she once spared a young officer from execution — and said officer, Li Xingke, swore to make Tianzi's wish come true. He succeeded.

The main example of this treatment found in the game is Iain Tibet Gladstone; having been caught after a long spree of heavy drug use and dubious practical experiments, he is currently being held under house arrest at the absurdly luxurious Temple Club, with a massive library at his disposal and the Stuart Twins as his Minders. As cushy as it is, it's still a prison; Gladstone is not allowed off the premises unsupervised, the threat of worse conditions has been raised in order to keep him out of trouble, he's actually been banned from visiting Oxford - and the faculty are prepared to enforce the ban by having him hanged.

In his fourth Free Time event, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu complains that he'd rather stay at a prisonnote as the Ultimate Yakuza, he's the most likely of the cast to wind up in prison than be trapped on Jabberwock Island (or rather, a virtual reality simulator, but that's a long story). Hinata then tells him that it's an odd case, as the place has soft beds, a beautiful ocean and entertainment, a point Kuzuryuu concedes.

The class does end up spending the rest of their lives there, because their actions under Junko's mind control mean that the rest of the world hates them and it's the only place they can live in peace.

It's stated that the Costa Rican government is very worried what could happen if word gets out, and that the two children would be the only ones allowed to leave. Apparently they relented, because in The Lost World, Ian Malcolm is no longer confined and it's mentioned in passing that Dr. Sattler teaches in California, and Dr. Grant is lecturing in Paris. This is because they signed an agreement not to tell anybody about what happened.

Luxurious quarters, beautiful clothes, five-star cuisine, and a top-notch training facility to prepare you for your fight to the death. Simply divine. Katniss even says that it will be their "home/prison until the Games begin." It's implied that the five-star housing of the victors is also like this. Once they've won the game, they're celebrities around Panem and are treated like it. However, the Capitol keeps a close eye on them, because they are now potentially influential celebrities. The wealthier districts have better living conditions but more brutal and fanatical Peacekeepers. On the other hand, District 12 is one of the poorest districts, but the authorities are far more willing to turn a blind eye to things like poaching and black market trading, at least until they get replaced by new troops during Catching Fire. The Capitol itself could also be seen as this - for somewhere that is supposedly very privileged, we see several people willing to risk their lives to escape. The fact that Seneca Crane was executed for simply failing at his job implies at least a very restrictive society, where you're watched constantly and not toeing the line has terrible consequences. In Catching Fire, Effie actually says "That sort of thinking... it's forbidden, Peeta. Absolutely." when Peeta tries to hold the Gamemakers accountable for killing children by painting a picture of Rue's death which implies the Capitol citizens may not quite have the freedom Katniss assumes.

But citizens also live under constant scrutiny and have to go through regular security screenings, heavily-armored ADVENT "peacekeepers" patrol the streets and violently put down any signs of dissent, pets and livestock are forbidden, and those gene clinics are actually a front for the aliens' plan to gather Human Resources.

Later, the pocket dimension held within the scroll becomes a much more elaborate version of this — it's a beautiful place when he can train as a powerful warrior, but he cannot leave of his own volition and his parents and Taiyi will not let him leave. This is brought up when Ne Zha describes the pocket world as a cage his mother tries to dissuade him from thinking like this by pointing out that surely a cage wouldn't look this nice. The dragons are officially considered to be servants of Heaven in good standing, and were awarded lofty titles and the important task of watching over the imprisoned demons on the sea floor. In practice, since they cannot leave without releasing their prisoners, they're just as imprisoned as the monsters that they guard.

Gilded Cage / int_e235270c	comment	One new faction type in Stellaris' Synthetic Dawn expansion are "Rogue Servitors," Artificial Intelligences that were gradually given more and more authority over their creators' lives until they eventually came to run the planet. They're not hostile to organics, they simply feel that it's in other species' best interests to let machines run their lives and keep them in pampered but efficient living sectors, and can't fathom why anyone would prioritize independence over such a blissful, carefree existence. And this is actually a game mechanic - Rogue Servitors house any non-robotic species in "Organic Sanctuary" structures, and the greater the ratio of these "bio-trophies" to robots, the happier and more productive those robots are. Though you can choose whether to enable migration controls for your bio-trophies, and if you don't, they will inevitably try going to planets that are inhospitable to their species (such as humans trying to live on an ice world) and/or planets that you either haven't gotten around to building Sancturaries for them on yet or don't intend to (because you intend to strip-mine it or turn it into a planet-wide power plant or factory to make the resources you need to keep the organics happy). If they end up in such places they just take up housing space and contribute nothing, and might even end up causing unrest among the robots by being unhappy, so denying them free migration is the more efficent option.

Empress Grace becomes enamored with the baby, so she "punishes" Zelshione by removing her from her post and sentencing her to house arrest inside her palace until she raises her son into a splendid person.

And a beacon device for his Shock Collar in the door. But after his escape attempt the entertainment center is deactivated and the kitchen programmed to only produce "prison loaf".

Even though Rapunzel can physically leave the tower, Gothel also makes her afraid to do so and, when that stops working, just grounds her... forever.

Gilded Cage / int_eb6802b4	comment	The world of Cocoon in Final Fantasy XIII is a veritable paradise, with its inhabitants' every need satisfied without fail by the godlike fal'Cie. The people don't even want to leave their cage, as Pulse, the world outside of Cocoon, is described as being a Hell on Earth (which, to be fair, is more or less true). However, it turns out that Cocoon is actually something of a human farm, its sole purpose being to breed humans like livestock until the population reaches a certain amount, at which point the fal'Cie plan to kill them all in the belief that the sudden, massive influx of human souls will bring about the return of their lost god. The roundabout way in which they must accomplish this task - being existentially linked to Cocoon, they are unable to bring about its downfall themselves - ends up being the plan's downfall.

Afterwards, one of them shows up to tell them that they ought to be grateful. In "Concerning Flight", Janeway's Leonardo da Vinci holodeck program is "kidnapped" from the ship, and enlisted by Tau, an alien merchant, to design things for him. Janeway attempts to convince Leonardo she is freeing him from Tau's imprisonment. Leonardo, as an artist from Renaissance-era Italy, sees Tau as a wealthy patron with unlimited resources who lets him create to his heart's content, and insists "if this is a cage, it is a cage of gold!"

In the second book, this is why Opal is so offended when Nik reveals that he's been quietly giving her more than her fair share of their profits, and he suggests he can just work while she stays somewhere quiet and safe. She explodes because, from her perspective, this is just more of what her father did, trying to control her with money and comfort. They get into a huge argument, she stalks off, and she nearly gets her father killed because she's too angry to spot an obvious trap. At the end of the third book, when Opal has a steady job and Nik doesn't, she jokingly suggests he can be her House Husband. He makes a face and admits he can understand why she was so offended by the idea.

He's so sheltered that not only does he not have basic knowledge of things like stores, he does not know what the city he lives in looks like. Emperor Peony has the same problem. He was kept in a manor house smaller than Luke's as a child, and had to get some of the local children to help him sneak out and see the town. Now, he lives in the royal palace, and he can go places on official business, but never unaccompanied, and he doesn't seem to have much appreciation for the opulence of his surroundings given the life they represent. He also still sneaks out to wander the city now and then, much to the dismay of everyone else.

What's the catch? She has no means of leaving the island by herself, and every so often, mortals will get stranded there, and the only way for them to leave is for Calypso to fall in love in them... after which they will have to leave and never come back, forcing her into a cycle of heartbreak over and over. The gods confined Calypso in Ogygia as a punishment for helping the Titans during the First Titanomachy, and she considers this a lenient punishment compared to some of her kinsmen who were imprisoned in Tartarus, yet Percy Jackson still views her trial to be a cruel psychological torture. The cycle is finally broken when Ogygia's latest visitor, Leo Valdez, reciprocates her feelings, and ends up returning to the island after leaving it once.

The Genetic Opera has Shilo Wallace, a 17 year old girl who, due to a blood condition she apparently has, spends her entire life inside her own home by her father, unable to leave. It's especially evident how much of a prisoner she is when it turns out her Dad was lying about her illness and poisoning her meds, just to keep her there with him. Perhaps a more on-the-nose example comes in Blind Mag, a prisoner of sorts to Rotti Largo due to a contract she signed forcing her to be a singer for them in exchange for eyesight. She's treated as a celebrity but she's miserable nonetheless.

Jirarudan in PokÃ©mon 2000 is confined to his luxurious airship, essentially a floating art museum, and it's distinctly implied that he has almost no contact with the outside world. Unlike many other examples, this seems to be self-imposed, and he doesn't consider it a prison (although the way it cuts him off from identifying with anything outside his ship qualifies it as such).

Gilded Cage / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: "The Hunted" is about a planet, Angosia, petitioning for membership in the Federation when a man named Roga Danar escapes from their penal colony on one of their moons. Roga then reveals that he and his fellow inmates committed no crimes. They were exiled to the moon after they served Angosia in a war where, because of their planet's Proud Scholar Race society, the men had to be turned into Super Soldiers to survive the war. When they came home, their conditioning made it too difficult to reintegrate into society so the people of Angosia chose to exile all of their veterans to the lunar penal colony and make it as comfortable as possible. Picard openly states that even the most comfortable prison is still a prison. During the second part of "Chain of Command", Gul Madred offers a tortured Picard a choice of luxury or more torture. Had Picard taken him up on that offer, he would have had comfortable digs near the Cardassian capital, with all the food he would eat and opportunities to pursue his hobby of archaeology. But for all intents and purposes, he would still be a prisoner of Cardassia. During "Face of the Enemy", Stefan De Seve, a Starfleet ensign, is arrested for treason for defecting to the Romulan Star Empire. He is kept in actual crew quarters instead of a brig.
