Poetic justice

From TheBestLinks.com

Poetic justice refers to a person receiving punishment intimately related to their crime. 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.

Dante's Inferno portion of the Divine Comedy reads like a compedium of poetic justice examples.
