Is justice served at the end of 'Oedipus Rex'?
Yes, justice is served, but no, it is not yet complete, at the end of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, justice requires the identification and punishment of whoever is guilty of killing Theban King Laius. Theban King Oedipus is found to be guilty and punishes himself with blindness. But the actual punishment is either exile or execution, and Creon awaits the expression of divine will as to which to apply.
Who died in king lear?
Basically everyone dies in King Lear. King Lear, all three of his daughters (Regan, Goneril, Cordelia) die. Edmund and his father Gloucester die, too. It is unknown whether Kent (Lear's faithful servant) also dies in the end because some think his last line suggests his intention of suicide. Regan's husband Cornwall dies, as well as Goneril's servant Oswald. Practically, everyone but Edgar & Albany died!
Why does Shakespeare apparently abandon use of the Fool in Act 3?

Technically, yes. Iago is taken to be tortured and imprisoned. But is justice really served? I don't think Shakespeare, the audience, or the characters would say so. After all of the tragedy and turmoil Iago causes, there is little that can be done to rectify the situation.

What are Aristotle's views on King Lear?
Aristotle did not specifically write about King Lear as it is a work by William Shakespeare. However, Aristotle's theory of tragedy, outlined in "Poetics," emphasizes the importance of a tragic hero, a plot with a beginning, middle, and end, and catharsis for the audience. These elements can be applied to analyze the themes and characters in King Lear.
