The term "egotist" has been employed by various authors to capture a spectrum of self-centered behaviors, often highlighting a character’s excessive preoccupation with themselves. In literature, it ranges from a description of even youthful innocence turned self-absorbed, as in Sherwood Anderson’s depiction of children ([1]), to a more deliberate, sometimes ironic, literary device embraced by F. Scott Fitzgerald in "This Side of Paradise," where entire chapters are themed around the concept of the Romantic Egotist ([2], [3], [4], [5], [6]). Other writers, like George Santayana and Bernard Shaw, use the notion to comment on the broader human condition—Santayana portrays the egotist as one who fills a barren landscape with self-made myths ([7]), while Shaw employs it to underscore the tragicomic fate of a selfish character in his dramatic narratives ([8]). Additionally, the term’s versatility is evident in its usage in works like Villette ([9], [10]), Faust ([11]), and even in moral and ethical treatises where it warns against vanity ([12]). This varied usage across genres—from the subtle self-critical acknowledgment in Washington Irving ([13]) and Dostoyevsky ([14]), to the self-described mockery in F. Scott Fitzgerald ([15]) and the spiritual allegory in Yogananda ([16])—reflects literature’s nuanced approach to exploring the facets of individual pride and its impact on personal and societal dynamics.
