I could see that, but I don't know for sure though. Willy might be taking action on his own personal agenda, regardless of Eren's personal agenda. If anything, I'm moreso wondering if Eren and Zeke are in some kind of cahoots. Zeke might even eventually end up being the one to force the world's hatred onto himself instead of Eren, effectively switching roles between the characters. But I'll just wait until the story progresses further before I make that judgement call.

As for the phrase "there are times when men are crushed by the weight they carry on their own backs", it could be referring to Reiner and all his guilt and stress from what he was forced to do and endure.

Interesting theories, though. I could see Willy eventually siding with the side Eren's on in an attempt to bring about peace between the nations.
