Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of stylistic features of legal English. It explores the specific way in which some emotional stories are expressed in Villette, a popular novel written by Charlotte Bronte. It takes into consideration the ways in which legal language features are related to communicating literary emotions. The research shows that Victorian women writers had unique artistic abilities regarding their description of emotions. From this research, we can see that the book describes the feelings of Lucy Snowe using legal English. And they are accurate, objective and standardized. This cross genre method of storytelling results in a large, but confined internal world for the characters. It creates an impossible artistic impression of one-of-a-kind that is a mixture of cause and emotion. Also demonstrates the amazing creativity and artistry of the Victorians.
