ROOM 101

Johanna Kleine-Frauns

“You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everybody knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the

world.” - O'Brien

What is Room 101?

• Torture chamber

• People are confronted with their own worst nightmare

„We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us.As long as he resists us, we never destroy him.

We make him one of ourselves before we kill him.We make his brain perfect before we blow it out.

And then, when there is nothing left but sorrow and love of Big Brother,

we shall wipe you clean out of history,we shall turn you into gas and pour you into the

stratosphere.Nothing will remain of you.

Not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain.“

Aim of the party

• Instrument of the Party to brainwash people

• Winston’s nightmare includes rats

• Winston betrays Julia

• Before being detained they think they can resist

• At the end Winston loves Big Brother

Winston
