Dyane Darrel, I agree that Kaneki has changed his mindset, but probably not in the way you are thinking. Right now, he doesn't care whether he's doing good or bad, he just wants to be loved. But, subconsciously, he's probably realized that he can't be loved in this life, so this ends up being his motive to "die in style"...in a last attempt to be loved. He thinks that he'll be loved once he's gone because he has chosen to "die in style", so he's willing to put all his energy into making people love him once he's gone, no matter the costs. Yes, that's probably why he seems so dark to many people from chapter 54, because he's thrown away ethics in order to achieve his goals, namely, to be loved, and to stop anyone who he thinks is interfering with that goal. This also is why he seems even more self-centered, because it seems like he has more ambition.
