Two Minutes Hate

Yesterday, myself and others in my English class discussed "1984" and our ideas on what all of us have read so far in the book. For the most part, we are all around the same area in the book, and most of us know what is happening in the story, and some key points. An idea that we questioned the most was on how in one particular scene, they have a "Two Minutes Hate" session, or whatever you want to call it. Apparntly, a bunch of people are gathered together in one room, in front of a large screen. Some man's face appears on this screen, and the people in the room all proceed in unison at screaming at the face on the monitor. None of us know what this is about, or what the purpose was, but I am sure that we will find out by reading on in the story.
