Consequently, although the Son had a free choice in the matter of His death, it was a “fixed” choice.... Thus, Christ freely chose what was fixed from God.

I regret that I cannot find the Latin original so I could see what word is translated as "fixed." My educated guess is that Anselm used the past participle of the verb figere (to fasten). (Cf. the past passive participle of the compound verb crucifixus, meaning to be fastened on a cross.)

Latin participles are non-finite (i.e. they are not inflected as to subject) verbal adjectives; consequently, assuming the past participle of figere, there is no subject to whom we can attribute Christ's "fixed choice." So, as I understand Anselm, Christ's "fixed choice" was a resolute human choice (or if you prefer, a decision) to suffer death, as opposed to a predetermined divine choice.

Your point is possible. I have tried to research this but have been unsuccessful. However, Anselm's statement about the "fixed" choice is consistent with Anselm claim that God the Father gave Christ His human will and Christ merely followed this will.

it is not improper to say that God draws or moves him when he gives him this will.

Anselm clearly states that God drew and move Christ's human will since God the Father gave Christ that will.
