Literature Assignment 2

  Justice in poetry may be defined as an ideal form of justice in which the virtue (good characters) are rewarded and the vice (bad characters) punished by an ironic twist of their fate. It is a strong literary view coined by an English literary critic Thomas Rymer in the 17th century, that all forms of literature must convey moral lessons. 
  In the play Richard III, justice is done when Buckingham was executed in Acts 1-2.Therefore, Richmond's army (the virtue/good character) are rewarded and Buckingham (the vice/bad character) is punished.
