A "mean soul" would be defined as a soul that is poor and cruel. A bankrupt soul, if you like, is one that is lacking in that which is good in a soul; thus cruel and heartless.

Gollum is as good an example as any character in LotR, and better than most, that Middle Earth contains folk that are not naturally good.
