"What is in Room 101?" (page 272)
That question has thrown me off guard, because I thought Winston was already in Room 101. After the session of shocks, There was some kind of explosion, and Winston was forced to look into O'Brian's eyes. There O'Brian told him that Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia, that the document about the three men had been an invention of Winston, and that when he lifted up four fingers, there were five. Winston agreed to everything he had said, and he believed it too. Winston was told that he would no longer be capable of loving or friendship or happiness, and that this would always stay with him, and he will become like the rest of the citizens. He was also told that he did not exist, but that Big Brother exists, and that he will never die. O'Brian had let Winston ask him a few questions, like what had happened to Julia, and whether or not the Brotherhood existed. He had also asked "What is in Room 101", to which O'Brain replied: "You know what is in Room 101, Winston. Everyone knows what is in Room 101". (page 173) So if this is not Room 101... What could be in it? What could be worse than this?
