[{"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": "user", "content": "I really enjoyed Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. There is such a good message about being open to other people in it and looking beyond class. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, you're right. Elizabeth bennet, the main character, learns the error of making fast judgments of people. You can miss out on really great people by having a bias against them before even speaking to them!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "And it is especially true of the hero. He was very biased against her class. This was very typical of the time period, and I think even relevant today. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Were you a fan of the film as well as the book?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes, I like both of them. I love romance, and write romance so this is right up my ally! Jane Austen was one of the best romance writers, and it is amazing that she wrote so long ago. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's quite a shame that her novels didn't bring her much fame while she was alive"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I know. It is hard because I know what it is like to struggle as a writer. If only she could see what the result of all her work had done. She played such a large part in romance as a genre. "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Knowing that her work was published anonymously, I wonder why that choice was made"}]
