Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Sometimes when authors describe a characters eyes as 'soulless' they are describing this person at the moment as uncaring, or slightly in-human!. These words give of the image of a person who is cold, with hard facial expressions!. The same with real life- I a person has 'soulless' eyes, their expression is generally hard, cold, unkind, and uncaring!. Having 'soulless' eyes is merely describing a facial expression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmm, different people have different answers!. From experience (of hearing how people use it), I associate "soulless eyes" with small beady/really deep-set eyes or with really really pale-blue eyes (although for me color alone doesnt qualify really without context of the rest of the face!.) Interesting question--esp!. to see what others say!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

eyes are regarded as windows to the brain/mind/soul
a cold hearted or cruel person is said to have soulless eyes, as in, there is nothing or at most very little soul, kindness, conscience and identity behind the eyes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
