Deningrad :
You are a historian so I will put this in terms that speak to your knowledge base.
Vegeta is raised on the premise of Aristocracy, and Nobility. He was or a royal family and was raised on the idea that your status (power level) was determined by birth.
Goku represents the concept that his royalty and nobility, his pure outlook on the world, that blood and nobility is everything, can be surpassed by a peasant.
Goku is an entity that constantly reminds Vegeta that the outlook of life he holds onto, gifted by his dead father and people, may not be correct. That his birthright, is not only not his, but that his way of life itself, may be wrong.
In peace time, Vegeta grew to love Bulma, his son, his normal life training rather than being worshiped. He became a commoner in his own eyes, and started to enjoy it, and Goku came back and it reminded him of the outlook he once had.
It's a tale of Aristocracy vs Peasantry and hard work.
