In Moliere's Don Juan, while Juan is is amoral and unempathetic to others, in one scene, he intervenes to save the life of a nobleman who was attacked by bandits and grossly outnumbered. This works to Juan's favor as the man he rescued turns out to have been the brother of one of Juan's abandoned conquests, which makes him become conflicted about his task of killing Juan. Additionally, Moliere had strong opinions about contemporary medical practice and how it was populated by a bunch of quacks and charlatans, and Juan echoes the author's opinions on this issue.

And then:
Fagin: I don't want nobody hurt for me, nor made to do the dirt for me. This rotten life is not for me, it's getting far too hot for me...

Even way back in Dr Faustus, the Noble Demon Mephistopheles repeatedly tries to get Faustus to reconsider eternal damnation for temporary power. Faustus is just too egomanical to see reason.
