"One question at any rate was unanswered...no heroes, no heroes...at his disabled left arm" (239).
The use of repetition helps to embed George Orwell's main idea that everyone is weak when it comes to physical pain. He repeats the words "no heroes, no heroes" and "over and over." Each word can be put into a negative context which in turn leads to a ominous tone for the reader to interpret. Winston is alone and all he has is his physical pain. He never thought he would break and bow down to the power, but when he is pain, he knows that he will bow down infinity times if they told him to. There are "no heroes" when it comes to pain.
