Nobel Prize winner Sienkiewicz`s works first
Bad pagan guy, Marcus Vinicius in Quo Vadis transforms into a role model after falling in love with a beautiful Christian girl.
Marcus Vinicius was Petronius’ nephew. The young man was serving then under Corbulo against the Parthians and when narrating took place, he had returned to the city. He was a very handsome and athletic man, “who knew how to preserve a certain aesthetic measure in his profligacy.” He was cruel, callous, and heartless in some ways, but having met Ligia he had changed greatly: he understood what love and lenity are, and he even accepted Christ into his heart.

Andrzej Kmicic also transforms to win the heart of a beautiful and decent female
Andrzej Kmicic is best known as a fictional character created by Henryk Sienkiewicz featured in the novel The Deluge. He is a typical szlachcic (Polish-Lithuanian noble) from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth; unruly yet patriotic. During the course of the books, he transforms from a villain to a hero.
The story of the love between Andrzej Kmicic, a Polish nobleman, and Olenka Billewiczówna, against the historical background of the Swedish invasion of 1655-1660.
Kmicic initially sides with the Radziwiłł family who are collaborating with the Swedes. Realising his mistake, he kidnaps Bogusław Radziwiłł, ending a shameful chapter in his eventful life. Under the assumed name of Babinicz, he serves his homeland with dedication, gaining fame for his heroic actions during the defense of the monastery of Jasna Góra. After blowing up a Swedish cannon, he is injured and returns to his real name. His patriotic deeds are rewarded with Oleńka’s hand and the office of district governor. The most spectacular part of Sienkiewicz's trilogy, adapted in the spirit of the traditional interpretation to uplift hearts, with emphasis on the evolution of the hero, who is transformed from an irresponsible soldier into a national hero.
