unchastened
Not brought low
Unchastened describes someone who remains unhumbled or undisciplined by experience, punishment, or failure—still defiant or unchanged when you might expect remorse or correction.
Unchastened by his defeat, he immediately announced another campaign.
The word often carries a note of disapproval, suggesting someone who should have learned a lesson but hasn't.
