George Orwell wrote a book after WWII in response to the political development of the preceding decade and he titled his book Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984). 1984 depicts a dystopian society in which lies and suppression are used by a totalitarian government to force people into submission. That government, led by so called 'Big Brother', has set up a few ministries.
One of those ministries is the Ministry of Love.
The Ministry of Love is all about the people's love for 'the Party' and for that matter Big Brother. To reach this Love, the Ministry uses repression, fear, torture and pain to make people love Big Brother. Ultimately this is done via the use of 'Room 101', which brings your worst fear, phobia or nightmare upon you in order to break you.
