The word “dove” suggests she is both beautiful and a figure of peace. Shakespeare represents strong feeling of love and how it is effectively presented through this quote. This is ironic because her family is the Montague’s enemy and conflict before peace arrives between the two families.

It can be said that Romeo uses the word “crows” to contrast Juliet to the other females; it is evident that he finds her to be one of the beautiful beings.

Despite the differences, both ballads effectively display the typical ballad traditions through dialogue to both involve and mystify the reader, such that, imagination can be applied to it. Although, “Bonny Barbara Allan” and “La Belle Dame sans Merci” slightly differ in their ballad stanzas, both ballads are characteristic of destructive love and allow readers’ imaginations to resolve unanswered questions. Traditional folk ballads are characteristic of series of quatrains wherein the last words of the second and fourth line rhyme – end rhyme. First and third lines of the quatrains consisted of four beats (tetrameter), while the third and fourth consisted of three beats (trimeter). “Bonny Barbara Allan” effectively demonstrates the Iambic rhythm and the end rhyme: o HOOly HOOly ROSE she UP to the PLACE where HE was LYing and WHEN she DREW the CURtain BY, "young MAN i THINK you're DYing.
