解答
意味:英辞郎によると、
詩的正義◆善行・悪行が結果的にいかにもふさわしい報いを受けること。しばしば皮肉な意味。悪事について言うことが多い。ただ、「詩的正義」の意味がわかりにくいと思うので、コトバンクによると、下記のようになります。
文学作品,特に劇で,登場人物がその行為に基づいて受ける正当な因果応報の原理。現実から離れた一種の理想的正義で,それによって作品の統一が完成される。単なる勧善懲悪ではなくて芸術としての蓋然性によることが必須の条件。
Answer
According to Merriam-Webster:an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate
