Antigone intends to get rid of herself by committing suicide. In the beginning of the play of the same name, she says that she cares about the dead and the world of death in the underworld. According to her, she will spend much more time dead than alive. She realizes that the act of making sure of the god-given right to burial for her brother Polyneices carries a death sentence. Once she is walled up in a remote cave, she decides not to drag out her slow, painful, lonely decline from life into death.
