There is some justice in the sense that the Mariner has to pay his penance throughout his life by telling his story over and over again. It is also just that he learns that we must live in harmony with God's creatures and should bless them rather than curse or kill them. There is also justice in that the Mariner has to tell his story to someone who appears to need the story and the lessons that it portrays.
