[{"role": "system", "content": "Jane Austen (; 16 December 1775\u00a0\u2013 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars. With the publications of \"Sense and Sensibility\" (1811), \"Pride and Prejudice\" (1813), \"Mansfield Park\" (1814) and \"Emma\" (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, \"Northanger Abbey\" and \"Persuasion\", both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled \"Sanditon\", but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript and another unfinished novel, The Watsons. Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Jane Austen wrote about how women depended on marriage in order to find favorable social standing an economic freedom. How cool!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's interesting. I saw Pride and Prejudice, which I think was based on one of her novels. She was very progressive for her time."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I didn't realize Pride and Prejudice was a movie! Apparently the first film adaptation of one of her books was in 1940."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes it was. It starred Jena Malone and Donald Sutherland. I thought it was pretty good. What is your favorite work of hers?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I actually haven't read any of her books, though they are wildly popular. what's your favorite book?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I really liked Sense and Sensebility. It really struck me how similar issues are today to that of Victorian times!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I remember learning about the Victorian era in class a few years ago, but I can't really remember that much...just that woman wanted more independence. So crazy that novels like To Kill a Mockingbird were written afterwards"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, women did not have many rights. They were mostly asked to be seen and not heard. So glad Jane Austen published her novels which helped the women's rights movement."}]
