Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Goldstein is portrayed as the enemy of Big Brother and, therefore, the enemy of all right-thinking Oceanians. According to Ingsoc propaganda, Goldstein is a wormy, slimy, good-for-nothing traitor. In artist renderings, which appear on telescreens across Oceania, he’s ugly too.
Detailed explanation-2: -It resembled the face of a sheep, and the voice, too, had a sheep-like quality. In this simile, the narrator compares the face and voice of Goldstein, who has white hair and a goatee, to that of a sheep.
Detailed explanation-3: -Orwell modelled the character of Emmanuel Goldstein on Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the Bolshevik revolution.
