Arrogance is a way for a person to cover up shame. After years of arrogance, the arrogant person is so out of touch, she truly doesn't know who she is. This is one of the greatest tragedies of shame cover-ups: not only does the person hide from others, she also hides from herself.

In literature it hasn't been nearly as oppressive as in, say, painting, where even the existence of so many women painters has always been denied.
