The end of the sonnet altered the whole meaning of it, because it makes you believe that shakespeare feels a great amount of disgust with this woman, but then places a forshadowing to make you think deeper into what he's trying to say. He may not find this woman to be attractive on the outside, but realizes her beauty within. Shakespeare mocks aspects of the traditional sonnet in 130, because he uses a couplet at the end of the poem,which had not been seen in traditonal sonnets before.
