Legal issues are a common problem that is involved in a number of literary works,and there are also a large number of legal issues in Hugo's novels.At present,numerous domestic and foreign scholars have been involved in the research of Hugo and his works.However,there is a lack of research on his legal thoughts.This article will pay more attention to evil law writing in his works and combine with social reality at that time to study his legal thoughts.First of all,most of the characters in Hugo's works have been treated unfairly by the law,this kind of injustice was not only caused by the legal provisions at that time,but also related to the fatuous incompetence of judicial and law enforcement workers.The second is the reason for the emergence of evil law,it mainly described from external and internal factors.On the one hand,the main external reason is the lack of social justice at that time.On the other hand,the author of this study tries to return to the 19 th century French law.There were a variety of problems at that time.However,on the whole,the law of this period was gradually becoming closer to modern law.Nevertheless,the law was presented in Hugo's work was evil law,it is related with Hugo's identity as a romantic writer.Literary works are higher than reality all the time.This is the internal reason for the presentation of “evil law” in Hugo's works.Hugo's works focus on evil law problem that has existed from the Middle Ages to the 19 th century.It was a common problem faced by writers and people at that time.People regarded the various punishments used by the authorities to deter them as a red mass,of course a reason for this is people had become numb.However,this was also their feeble resistance from another perspective.For Hugo,he described a large number of suicide in his work,suicide to resist the death penalty and conscience to define the law is his resistance to the evil law.It was not only Hugo,more writers tried to express their own dissatisfaction and resentment for this social fault by works at that time with rampant evil law.This is not Hugo's personal war.It is the light of expectation of writers at that time.
