Building on @what 's answer (to his own question ;-) ), I'd say that the question is falsely assuming the protagonist will improve. Much more interesting is the case where the protagonist changes due to new circumstances, and the readers/viewers/gameplayers are left wondering to themselves if that was a good change.

Or how about a double change (having nothing to do with killing), like in "Flowers for Algernon"?
