It is a [[torture chamber]] in the [[Ministry of Love]], in which the Party attempts to subject a prisoner to his or her own worst [[nightmare]], fear or [[phobia]], with the object of breaking down their resistance. {{cquote2|You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.|[[O'Brien (Nineteen Eighty-Four)|O'Brien]]}} ==Depiction in the novel== Such is the purported [[omniscience]] of the [[Sovereign state|state]] in the society of ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' that even a citizen's nightmares are known to the Party. The nightmare, and therefore the threatened punishment, of the protagonist [[Winston Smith]] is to be attacked by [[rat]]s. This is manifested in Room 101 by confronting Smith with a wire cage that contains two large rats. The front of the cage is shaped so that it can fit over a person's face. A trap-door is then opened, allowing the rats to devour the victim's face. This cage is fitted over Smith's face, but he saves himself by begging the authorities to let his lover, [[Julia (1984)|Julia]], suffer this torture instead of him. The threatened torture, and what Winston does to escape it, breaks his last promise to himself and to Julia: never to betray her emotionally. The book suggests that Julia is likewise subjected to her own worst fear (although it is not revealed what her worst fear is), and when she and Winston later meet in a park, he notices a scar on her forehead. The original intent of threatening Winston with the rats was not necessarily to go through with the act, but to force him into betraying the only person he loved and therefore break his spirit. Orwell named Room 101 after a conference room at [[Broadcasting House]] where he used to sit through tedious meetings.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Real Room 101 |publisher=BBC |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/room-101.shtml |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20070105132434/http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/room-101.shtml |archivedate=5 January 2007}}<br>Meyers, Jeffery.
