Why did Austen dislike Gothic romances?
I don't know that Austen did "dislike" them. Rather she was a satirist and found humor, sacrasm and irony in many things and wrote about them in her novels. It is possible to see these elements and not "dislike" the subject. There is indeed much to laugh about, poke fun at, and point out the inconsistencies in Gothic Romance... but we still love it.
What is the purpose of the novel excerpt from northanger abbey by Jane Austen?
It was one of her first works, so she was trying different styles. On the other hand, Gothic novels are central to the book's plot, that is why this type of literature is quoted frequently. I do not think Austen appreciated it: it must have had too much exaggeration, too much feeling and drama for a woman of her principles and taste (so she indirectly ironised both her heroine and her beloved Gothic literature).
