Do you think that Johnny's feelings about Merchant Lyte and Dove have changed by the end of the novel?Explain. :)

I think it is pretty clear that Johnny's feelings for Dove have changed by the end of the novel.  However, I don't think his feelings toward Lyte really have very much.  At various times early in the novel, there is no doubt that Johnny looks down on Dove and bullies him around.  He also hates Merchant Lyte.

By the end of the book, Johnny seems to have more respect for Dove or is at least kind to him.  He does things like doing Dove's work for him so Dove can sleep (Chapter IX).

In Chapter XI, Johnny finds out that Merchant Lyte is his great-uncle.  He does not react with revulsion like he might have before.  Instead, he just kind of takes it in stride.  This implies that he's okay with the idea of being related to Merchant Lyte.  However, he's still not all that fond of Lyte, because when Lavinia says Lyte is the "best man who ever lived," Johnny "had his own opinion on that."
