Is A Frozen heart canon to, well, Frozen?

I do not know if "A Frozen Heart" is canon or not.

Doesn't quite matter if it's canon or not. In one work, he qualifies as The Sociopath. In another work, it's an Averted Trope. Each work should have it's own bullet.

I am not sure if this is a case where an Averted Trope is noteworthy. But, if this is the case- to a similar example in another work, i heard that 'Another Monster', a book of the perspective of the Big Bad sociopath of the manga 'Monster' not portrays the villain in question as a 'true' sociopath. Must this be mentioned in an other bullet in the The Sociopath example to the character in question in Monster ?

In this case, I think it noteworthy because the page is trying to trope the same character from two different works. One work presents him as The Sociopath and the other presents Hidden Depths. Anyone who switched from one work to the other would find that change in characterization somewhat jarring. Like the way Jar-Jar Binks went from Secondary Character to Spear Carrier.
