~ Throughout the frist half of the sonnet he is comparing her to stuff like coal for her lips and how dark her skin is. He seems to be talking about her in a bad way. But in the end her says that you loves her and everything about her.

~Traditional sonnets are usually about love for others and talking about how wonderful they are. But in his sonnet 130, he is saying what she's not like in what seems like a not very good way but he is still saying he loves her despite of those things.
