Don't take Grammarly seriously. See this comment: english.stackexchange.com/questions/447013/… Lordology is right to say that you should remove the comma, but that's not related to the use of the passive voice.

Grammarly was created by scammers at best, complete idiots at worst. They get things wrong in their promotional material. If you have Grammarly installed, I pity you.

I don't like the jarring "one... them". I would prefer "The Prince and Dr. Faustus both talk about characters who believe that to achieve greatness one has to deviate from what is expected of one.
