To find this, she develops a relationship with a political prisoner called Brodie, whom Henry mocks. At the beginning of the play Brodie seems to have real political convictions, but he cannot structure a play properly. Much to Henry's chagrin, Annie persuades him to retool Brodie's halting efforts into marketable dialogue, in a made-for television movie based on Brodie's real-life experiences. However, in the final scene between Annie and Brodie, it becomes clear that Brodie is not a believer at all. While Henry truly loves the tune by the Monkees, while at least there is some affection in the playwright's heart and soul for Annie, his own work, and the art he attempts to serve, however imperfectly, Brodie's political convictions and aspirations for art, Annie learns, were all for show.

) "Sonnet 130" by Shakespeare and "Sonnet 23" by Louis Labe both talk about love, as so many sonnets do. Their respective techniques however, differentiate them from each other. Shakespeare uses a rhyme scheme that became known as Shakespearean rhyme scheme or English rhyme. He writes about love in a sarcastic manner though.
