The word "choose" in literature often transcends its simple denotation of selecting from alternatives, emerging instead as a rich symbol of autonomy, moral judgment, and existential determination. In many works, it marks a pivotal moment where characters assert free will and face the consequences of their decisions—from the introspective questioning of societal rules in Dostoyevsky’s narrative ([1]) to Plato’s exploration of ethical responsibility ([2]). Shakespeare and Dumas use it to underscore the power dynamics in personal relationships and governance ([3], [4]), while authors like Nietzsche and James invoke it to reflect on the broader responsibilities of choosing one’s values and allegiances ([5], [6]). Even in more practical contexts, as seen in Chekhov’s narrative on selecting beauty among fragility ([7]) or Helen Keller’s choice of academic paths ([8]), “choose” serves as a potent marker of self-determination and moral deliberation throughout the literary canon.
