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.
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!
In King Lear, the Fool abruptly disappears after Act 3. Why? It could be that the same actor played the Fool and Cordelia, and since Cordelia is onstage with Lear a lot at the end of the play, the Fool had to disappear.
Upon learning of his daughter Cordelia's death by hanging, at the instruction of Edmund, King Lear dies of grief.
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.
At the end of KING LEAR, King Lear dies with Cordelia on his hands, dead.

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.
"End of justice" typically refers to the final resolution or outcome of a legal matter where justice is served through a verdict or decision by the court. It signifies the completion of the legal process and the administration of justice in a particular case.

No, by no means. Lear dies of old age, his end brought on by his distracted grief at the death of his dearest daughter Cordelia and his exertions in attempting to defend her. Cordelia is indeed hanged, but she did not hang herself.

King Lear and Cordelia are sent to prison after being captured by Cornwall's troops. When they appear at the end of the play, King Lear walks in carrying Cordelia's corpse. She died in prison during the battle between Cornwall's troops and French troops. Lear, after a grief-ridden monologue, dies because the emotional strain is too great i.e. "died of a broken heart".
