Desperate Housewives Monologues Dataset

This project extracts and organizes the recurring narrator monologues from Desperate Housewives — primarily Mary Alice Young's voiceovers — from episode subtitle (.srt) files into per-season, per-episode Markdown files with clear headers. A subtitle-to-text conversion script handles the initial extraction, with AI assistance used to isolate the monologues from the surrounding dialogue given the volume of text.

These monologues function as a recurring structural device that frames each episode's themes, making the resulting corpus useful for sentiment analysis, motif tracking, or other text-based NLP and machine learning projects. The README notes the dataset may contain occasional transcription or extraction inaccuracies and is offered as a best-effort, community-correctable resource.
