The narrator possibly refers to himself as an “ogre” because he feels old, large, and clumsy in comparison to his son’s fiancé Morna, who seems to be delicate and full of innocence, hope, and possibilities. Morna views the narrator and the old objects in the chest with awe and curiosity, which is evident from her deep interest in the objects: But the friend was a female, small and exquisite, with fascinating large eyes, the whites white as china, and a way of darting back and forth like a hummingbird, her wings invisible. "Oh," she exclaimed, over this and that, explaining to Gordon in a breathy small voice how this would be useful, and that would fit right in, "Lamps!" she said. "I love lamps." On the other hand, the narrator as a child, was disgusted by and afraid of the old chest and its contents, which to him represented death and decay: The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know. His parents' college diplomas seemed to be under the blankets, and other documents going back still farther, having to do with his grandparents, their marriage, or the marriage of someone beyond even them. There was a folded old piece of paper with drawn-on hearts and designs and words in German. His mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him. It is only when his parents are dead and he has had his own family that he understands the worth and significance of all the old treasures his mother saved in the chest, as well as the memories and family history he could discover in its contents.

If King was trying to be persuasive, lines 307 - 334 can only affect persuasiveness by reinforcing the argument King is making. This can be done through a clear and objective diction that reinforces the importance of King's words. In addition, these lines can create a logical, ethical or emotional structure for the speeches, proposing a greater connection between king and the public.
