She is ashamed for having married her son and had children with him.
Most of the play lacks any mention of what Antigone wore. But there's a passing reference to her clothes when Haemon finds her lifeless body. Antigone uses a halter from her clothing to hang herself. And the text mentions that she is dressed in linen.
Suicide is the way in which Antigone dies in "Antigone" by Sophocles 9495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to death by being walled up in a remote cave. King Creon, her uncle and intended father-in-law, does the sentencing and speculates that she may take her own life rather than drag the dying out in the scary, lonely darkness. Antigone indeed does decide to hang herself with her own halter.
In the bedroom is where Jocasta kills herself in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta is outside the main entrance to the Theban royal palace when she puts all the pieces together and realizes that her second husband is her first husband's killer and her son. King Oedipus keeps on pursuing the truth despite Jocasta's efforts to stop him. Jocasta runs inside the palace and shuts herself inside the royal bedroom in order to hang herself.
It's a combination of shame for fulfilling the prophecy, not being able to cheat destiny and sleeping with her own son.

Yes, Antigone hangs herself in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone does what her uncle, King Creon, hopes that she will do. She decides to kill herself rather than face a lonely, miserable death from starvation in the dark, remote cave in which she is walled up. Prince Haemon, Antigone's betrothed and Creon's son, climbs the long walk to the cave, but gets there too late to save his beloved from death's clutches.

By hanging and by stabbing are the respective ways in which Antigone and her fiancé die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to die walled up in a remote cave. She chooses to hang herself with the halter of her own dress. When her fiancé Haemon comes to rescue her, he is so distraught at the suicide and over a failed attempt at killing his father that he stabs himself with his own sword.
That Jocasta hangs herself and that Oedipus blinds himself, loses his job and is placed under house arrest are what happens to Jocasta and Oedipus in the last part of "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta realize that much more than husband and wife they are son and mother. They also realize that Jocasta's first husband is killed albeit unknowingly by Jocasta's second husband, Oedipus. That knowledge causes Jocasta to hang herself and Oedipus to blind himself, lose his royal powers and residence, and suffer house arrest until divine will indicates whether he is to be executed or exiled for his criminal act and immoral behavior.
Marriage and family life are what Antigone gives up in her choices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged to Prince Haemon, her first cousin and heir apparent to the Theban throne. But the engagement is broken when she chooses to break a recent edict issued by King Creon, Haemon's father and Antigone's uncle. Her life and all chance for a happy marriage and children end when she chooses to hang herself rather than experience a slow death in a remote, walled-up cave.
