Assuming that we characterize justice as 'tit for tat,' then, at that point, the characters who have killed, and bite the dust subsequently, get equity. Goneril, Reagan, and Edmund are largely answerable for others' demises, so these characters' demises toward the finish of the play feel just. Edgar has the right to acquire the realm due to his introduction to the world and furthermore on the grounds that he is an ethically decent person, so Albany's solicitation that Edgar assist him with administering additionally feels like equity being served. Lear, Cordelia, and Gloucester all commit errors that add to their enduring and inevitable passings, yet not a solitary one of them can be said the merit the unforgiving disciplines they get. More than equity, the standard of outcome applies to every one of the characters similarly – they all are compelled to experience the results of their choices, whether or not or not they later lament the decision. Lear, Cordelia, and Gloucester all commit errors of judgment toward the start of the play, and can't fix what they've gotten under way. The universe of Lear is one in which equity, in the event that it exists, makes no convenience for benevolence, and outcomes play out paying little mind to regret.
