As a creation that was man made, not heavenly created, Frankenstein the monster has no soul. Shelley is very clear to illustrate this. He is not "nice" or "mean" but merely full of purpose. He struggles not with a moral code that governs most of human society, and feels no remorse for the crimes he commits. He is apathetic to the world outside of him. Shelley was viciously against science for science's sake, and wanted to portray this tragic character as lost, attempting to fit into some society, but really not a part of any.
