Poetic justice is a literary device by which things happen the way they are supposed to, that is, the evil gets punished and the good wins. In King Lear, the people learn something from the punishments they have received to become better people at some level. Edmund regrets his actions as he lies in his death bed and even goes on to try and save Cordelia. Lear and Gloucester becomes morally righteous people. Basically, as the story ends the reader is left feeling that things have all fallen in place.
