Room 101 is where members of the inner party finish torturing criminals that are brought to the Ministry of Peace. It is also referred to as where there is no darkness. Winston and Julia promised that no matter what they would never stop loving each other. The Party could make them confess to crimes that they did not even commit, but they could not force their hearts to stop loving the other. That is before they knew about Room 101!
The torturers beat the crap out of Winston to get him to admit to everything they wanted him to. The electrocution made Winston realize that the Party has complete control and there is no hope of overthrowing the government. In order to get Winston to “love Big Brother” he is sent to Room 101 where he is faced with his biggest fear, rats! The ultimate fear is used to get the victim to agree to anything and in this case betray Julia. The rats were latched into a caged on Winston’s face and they were ready to eat his face off. The only way for him to escape was to say, “Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I don't care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!” It turns out that Julia had already done the same thing and betrayed Winston. They met after being released into the real world and knew what the other had done.
