Are there any settings in this novel which you have found to be beautiful? Or disturbing? Or memorable? Describe these settings and comment on why they were meaningful to you.The settings that were memorble to me would be Mr. Charrington's room that Winston and Julia used for their hiding place and Room 101. Mr. Charrington's room was memorable, disturbing, yet beautiful at the same time. This room was the place that Winston and Julia found for their conspiracy to go on and this was where they could talk freely about any subject. They could speak out their thougths openly without the fear of being overheard and caught on telescreens. This room was the only place that they could meet and communicate which made it a vital and memorable place of the book. If Winston and Julia were not able to get this room, they would have had no place to go.
Another setting that I found interesting was Room 101. This room was not an ordinary room. It was the legendary room which everyone knew and shivered just at the name. In Room 101 is where you change. You change...into a different being. The appearance, your personality, but most of all, your thoughts about life and your society changes. After Winston entered and came out, he was a new person. He had become a person who loved the Party, who could believe two and two would be five if the Party said it, and a person who loved Big Brother.
I found this quite dsiturbing but interesting. When Winston was called in, he came back out as an utterly different person. What was interesting was that this room with a torturing machine could change a person's thougths and control them. It is no wonder historical dictators such as Stalin and Hitler use torture and pain in order to have control of their people.
