All the utterances are broken down by season, episode, scene and utterance which allows for very detailed analysis. Please note that the speaker will be denoted "Scene Directions" to show scene directions, or otherwise non-spoken descriptions.
The original data includes emotion and character entity annotation for some of the utterances. These annotations have been included in separate tibbles. These can easily be joined back to the main dataset as needed.
