Room 101- not to be confused with room 002

"There's nothing I won't confess, nothing! Just tell me what it is and I'll confess it straight off. Write it down and I'll sign it-anything" Not Room 101"- Page 236

Room 101 really is a jumping point about Orwell's settings in the last half of 1984. I think Orwell introduces the Room about 50 pages before the reader and Winston find out what's inside it to install fear. Creating fear of a thing, which could be of been avoided. Let's take it with the rats, Room 101 and O'Brien great this atmosphere of terror that has the reader pause from reading and make sure that there aren't any rats around. The description of the room itself is blank and scary, especially in the fact that's personalized for everyone. Look how different the rats become from the bedroom above the shop to Room 101. Winston loses himself due to the suspense and the setting of this room. This technique of fear paves the theme of fear through the book. How the government gets what it wants from fear of poverty, fear of war or even fear of rats.
