In reply to: Mrs. G. (for Mrs. Moya) :-) 's message, "SONNET #130 (STUDENTS PLEASE READ!)" on 20:21:32 03/11/03 Tue

The couplet at the end of the sonnet displays a bit of irony in that he describes his mistress with obvious contempt, giving the reader the impression that he has no feelings for her, yet the original impression is altered when he says that he loves her, in a way.
I have no idea how Shakespeare mocks the aspect of traditional sonnets in Sonnet 130!
