If you were put into room 101 in George Orwells "1984" what would happen to you in there?

Answer 1

I would die of boredom

Answer 2

You asked me once," said O'Brien, "what was in Room 101. I told you that you know the answer already. Everybody knows. The thing in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world."

Room 101 is a torture chamber in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare. Such is the omniscience of the state in the totalitarian society of Nineteen Eighty-Four that even a citizen's nightmares are known to the authorities. The nightmare — and therefore the threatened punishment — of the protagonist Winston Smith is to have his face gnawed by rats. Smith saves himself by begging the authorities to let his lover, Julia, have her face gnawed out by the ferocious rodents instead. The torture—and what Winston does to escape it—utterly crushes the feelings between himself and Julia, destroying their youthful idealism, their dreams for the future, and their feelings for each other. It should be noted that the book never suggests Julia is actually subjected to the rat torture (although it is strongly implied she was threatened with her own worst nightmare), and the original intent of threatening Winston with the rats probably wasn't actually to go through with the act, but to force him into betraying the only person he loved and therefore break his spirit.
