If you want to understand it completely, you should just read the whole book, but where his capture begins is right before chapter 3, around pg. 180. But room 101 is first introduced in page 195, I don't know if you have the same book as I do, but it is a few pages into chapter 3.
Basically, you don't find out what's in room 101 until later on, but I think the anxeity leading up to it is important. Again, there are a lot of hidden meanings/symbols that are in the book that you might not understand completely if you haven't read the book.
