Abstract | According to the Cambridge dictionary poetic justice is defined as an occasion when something bad happens to a person who seems to deserve it usually because of bad things that person has done or it can be understood as a punishment or a reward that you feel is just. In literature, poetic justice refers to an outcome in which evil characters are punished and virtuous characters are rewarded. The term was coined by the English literary critic Thomas Rhymer in the 17th century, who was a literary critic and who introduced principles of French neoclassicism. He introduced this term when it was believed that a work of literature should uphold moral principles only and instruct the reader for correct moral behaviour. Twists of fate usually provide the episode of poetic justice towards the end of the story. The device of poetic justice has been replaced not only in modern literature and writings but also in contemporary digital presentations like popular Cinema too. The contemporary writers' times are offering in their presentation more an ironic twist of fate related and resulted from the character's own actions. The main idea behind the use of poetic justice is to celebrate morality, to correct people and check the way the Society should behave. Therefore this idea was coined in 1677-78, but was already popular in much older times, whose reflection we get from Plato’s Republic. |
