It's fine to make it fit modern values as long as it's not a historical work but changing the story is a big nope for me

That's why I love most of the classics that stomp on modern sensibilities. not everyone cares about or follows standard morality and I find it amusing when they change a classic to standard morality and there are people who don't care about that and don't follow it.
People are not necessarily selfless and altruistic, many tend to think only of themselves and their own desires. as much as many books write otherwise.
That's why I never liked Dickins and Victor Hugo. mainly because of the life they led, contradicts the kindly attitude of its protagonists.
