	Poetic justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poetic justice is a literary device in which virtue is ultimately rewarded or vice punished, often in modern literature by an ironic twist of fate intimately related to the character's own conduct.
		The demand for poetic justice is consistent in Classical authorities and shows up in Horace, Plutarch, and Quintillian, so Rymer's phrasing is a reflection of a commonplace.
		It is poetic justice that the means and skills he used in a lifetime of harming others become the instrument of such horrendous suffering inflicted upon himself.

		Poetic Justice is a 1993 film starring Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur and directed by John Singleton.
		Poetic justice is a term invented by the critic Thomas Rymer in the late seventeenth century to describe the proper moral resolution that he believed drama or narrative should have.
		For example, "poetic justice" for a rapist would be becoming the rape victim; for a adulteress, having her spouse be an adulterer; and so on.

	‘Poetic Justice’ (R)
		And when he sees that his blind date for the day is Justice -- who, by coincidence, had just recently dissed him when he asked her out at the beauty salon where she works -- he pulls his backward White Sox cap further down on his head and readies himself for sexual war.
		This long journey, during which Chicago and Iesha break up and Lucky and Justice court and spark, is the heart of "Poetic Justice," and as it unreels, you can feel Singleton fumbling to come to some conclusions about fl men and women.
		"Poetic Justice" isn't the work of a director in full control of his material; instead, it's a picture by a director who has almost consciously thrown himself out of control.

	Justice in Amos
		In the prophets this concern for justice (rather than more strictly legality) is most evident in what they say about the poor or oppressed.
		The prophets were particularly concerned with "justice" for these groups, and "righteousness" was less a case of keeping the rules than of assisting and protecting these disadvantaged people.
		One particular feature of talk of justice in the prophets is especially marked - today we call it "poetic justice" - when the punishment or consequence "fits the crime".

		The drug deals and drive-bys of Boyz are on the periphery of Poetic Justice, which focuses on the sisters in the hood.
		Justice, played by a refreshingly unslick Janet Jackson in a beguiling film debut, is a gum-chewing L.A. beautician who wears attitude like armor.
		Ultimately, it is Justice's reaching out to Keisha that allows her to give up her anger and move ahead.

	The Films of John Singleton: Poetic Justice (1993)
		In short, I was expecting Poetic Justice to be a moving drama with great emotional punch, which is not an outrageously high request, given the enormous talent of its writer-director.
		More attention seems to be paid to the relationship betwen Chicago and Iesha than the dramatic relationship between Justice and Lucky; a pivotal scene where Chicago hits Iesha is given more emotional weight than one where Justice must confront her conflicting feelings of love for Lucky and those of devotion to her dead boyfriend.
		Poetic Justice isn't nearly the disaster other critics would leave you to believe, only a not-too-bad disappointment.

	Joy Harjo and Poetic Justice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		With her band Poetic Justice, Harjo has opened for the Indigo Girls as part of their "Honor the Earth Tour" in 1996 (as well as being featured on the "Honor the Earth" CD), performed with Bonnie Raitt and Toad the Wet Sprocket and toured the U.S., Europe and India.
		It wasn't until she was in Denver that she took up the saxophone because she wanted to learn how to sing and had in mind a band that would combine the poetry with a music there were no words yet to define, a music involving elements of tribal musics, jazz and rock.
		That was the beginning of Poetic Justice even though their first meeting occurred several years before at Blues Alley in Washington, D.C., a hint of things to come.

		"Poetic Justice" is described as the second of three films John Singleton plans to make about the South Central neighborhood in Los Angeles.
		Unlike "Boyz," which was fairly strongly plotted, "Poetic Justice" unwinds like a road picture from the early 1970s, in which the characters are introduced and then set off on a trip that becomes a journey of discovery.
		"Poetic Justice" is not its equal, but does not aspire to be; it is a softer, gentler film, more of a romance than a commentary on social conditions.

		Curator Dan Cameron gave the show the conceptual frame "Poetic Justice" in an effort to focus on politics while at the same time allow artists to claim a special point of view.
		Her tasks ranged from the poetic ("Drink the water in my parents' village") to the apparently mundane ("Go to the Israeli post office in Jerusalem and pay my phone bill").
		A show that privileges the margins like "Poetic Justice" may aid in resetting our internal wiring, but more work is needed to produce the kind of excitement and questions that lead to change.

		While Plato thought that we can learn from art and that it is detrimental to one's character, however, Aristotle argued that indulging in the same mimetic emotions that Plato warned us of can actually benefit one's character by producing an emotional catharsis (Poetics 1449b24-29).
		By purging the tragic emotions in particular, Aristotle held, one has a better chance of being more rational in everyday life.
