poetic justice
Poetic justice is a literary device in which ultimately virtue is rewarded and vice punished. In modern literature it is often accompanied by an ironic twist of fate related to the character's own action.
== Origin of the term ==
English drama critic Thomas Rymer coined the phrase in ''The Tragedies of the Last Age Considere'd'' (1678) to describe how a work should inspire proper moral behaviour in its audience by illustrating the triumph of good over evil. The demand for poetic justice is consistent in Classical authorities and shows up in Horace, Plutarch, and Quintillian, so Rymer's phrasing is a reflection of a commonplace. Philip Sidney, in ''Defense of Poetry,'' argued that poetic justice was, in fact, the reason that fiction should be allowed in a civilized nation.
