Özet
Trauma represents an everlasting impact of violent incidents that leave indelible scars affecting the victim‘s mind, psyche, and mental capacities. Judith Thompson is one of the famous Canadian playwrights whose plays portray psychological and mental disorders as manifestations of vehement events and death. In Watching Glory Die, she dramatises the dark corners in Canadian prisons and the violent way mental inmates are treated. Gory, the protagonist, goes through a cycle of constant victimisation that destroys her psychological and mental capacities. On the other hand, Thompson presents another character, Gail, a victim and victimiser. The study employs the concepts of traumatic memory and integrated memory of trauma to find out the traumatic effects of imprisonment and injustice.

Abstract
Trauma represents an everlasting impact of violent incidents that leave indelible scars affecting the victim‘s mind, psyche, and mental capacities. Judith Thompson is one of the famous Canadian playwrights whose plays portray psychological and mental disorders as manifestations of vehement events and death. In Watching Glory Die, she dramatises the dark corners in Canadian prisons and the violent way mental inmates are treated. Gory, the protagonist, goes through a cycle of constant victimisation that destroys her psychological and mental capacities. On the other hand, Thompson presents another character, Gail, a victim and victimiser. The study employs the concepts of traumatic memory and integrated memory of trauma to find out the traumatic effects of imprisonment and injustice.
