Rumpelstiltskin

"On a scarlet-draped platform an orator of the Inner Party, a small lean man with disproportionately long arms and a large, bald skull over which a few lank locks straggled, was haranguing the crowd. A little Rumpelstiltskin figure, contorted with hatred..." (Orwell 180).

"Rumpelstiltskin" is a fairy tale/fable by the Brothers Grimm. It tells the story of a woman who wants to marry the King, but is told she can only do so if she spins yarn into gold. A man named Rumpelstiltskin tells her he will do it for her if he can keep her first-born child. He does, and eventually he comes to claim the child. However, he says that the woman may keep her child if she can guess his name, which he believes she will never be able to do. She does, because her husband overhears him saying his name out loud, and Rumpelstiltskin returns the child and leaves.
Big Brother is like a Rumpelstiltskin character, tricking everyone around him into playing his games and doing things his way, confident he will never be found out. Winston, and accordingly Orwell, believes that if we can find a way around these people that are trying to control us and our minds, then we will be free: all we need is the information and intelligence on how to do so.
