To Resemble It with Hell or Netherworld

Explanation:

In Nineteen-Eighty-Four, Room 101 is introduced at the climax of the novel. This room is a torture chamber where the Party brainwashes a prisoner by inflicting unprecedented torture, fear or phobia upon him. Room 101, as one character says, is the worst thing in the world. The symbolic meaning is the netherworld, the hell or dungeon is believed to be in the lowest part of the place where severe punishment is meted out to the dissenters.
