Opinions hugely vary, but I'm of the belief that Eto is grooming Kaneki to be the OEK and is aware of his Martyr Complex. She wants the OEK to be a symbol of hope for ghouls and trigger a revolution, and Kaneki makes a convenient scapegoat. Kaneki wants to die in a way that will make everyone love him, and the main character usually dies at the end of Eto's stories. It's a win-win for both of them. Kaneki has the potential to die being loved (by many ghouls anyway) and Eto can go on to say that their king heroically sacrificed himself for them opposing the CCG.
