>At the end of the sonnet the couplet can be taken to contridict the poem or he loves everything about this lady. The ending says he loves this lady rare, but not once in the beginning did he say he didn't like her. Maybe this women is the "dark lady". Shakespeare did love her.

The traditional sonnet is "I love everthing about this perfect angel". In this sonnet, Shakespeare basically rips this women, but then says he loves her. That mocks traditional sonnets by writing about the ugliest thing there is, but still loving her.
