Line 30:
* [[Death by Childbirth]]
* [[Death by Sex]]: ''very'' common.
* [[
* [[Downer Ending]]: Many ballads play this trope straight, others have endings that would have been considered [[Happy Ending|happy]] in days past, but fall short of the mark by today's standards. Some "happy endings" are [[Values Dissonance|pretty horrific]] to modern audiences.
** Ballad 110, wherein we learn that if a young woman is raped and the perpetrator is single, she will be forced to marry her rapist, whether she wants to or not.
