Partly. Cassio is justly restored to favour after being entrapped into a crime. Iago will be punished. These things are just and fair.

But Desdemona is dead, who was absolutely innocent. Emilia, who unwittingly helped Iago but redeemed herself by revealing what she knew, died for courageously doing so. And Othello, who is as much a victim as they are, is dead also. The unfairness of these deaths cannot be made right by punishing Iago. Nothing can bring them back to life.

Is justice served at the end of Othello?

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.

In the end himself... Iago planted the seeds of doubt in his mind to get what he wanted, But if Othello REALLY loved Desdomona then he would of not believed the 'imaginary proof' that Iago told him, and wouldn't of doubted her in the first place.
